Madden Falls - Darkes Forest

Got a thin skin? Then look elsewhere. Post a link to an image that you've made, and invite others to offer their critiques. Honesty is encouraged, but please be positive in your constructive criticism. Flaming and just plain nastiness will not be tolerated. Please note that this is not an area for you to showcase your images, nor is this a place for you to show-off where you have been. This is an area for you to post images so that you may share with us a technique that you have mastered, or are trying to master. Typically, no more than about four images should be posted in any one post or thread, and the maximum size of any side of any image should not exceed 950 px.

Forum rules
Please note that image critiquing is a matter of give and take: if you post images for critique, and you then expect to receive criticism, then it is also reasonable, fair and appropriate that, in return, you post your critique of the images of other members here as a matter of courtesy. So please do offer your critique of the images of others; your opinion is important, and will help everyone here enjoy their visit to far greater extent.

Also please note that, unless you state something to the contrary, other members might attempt to repost your image with their own post processing applied. We see this as an acceptable form of critique, but should you prefer that others not modify your work, this is perfectly ok, and you should state this, either within your post, or within your signature.

Images posted here should conform with the general forum guidelines. Image sizes should not exceed 950 pixels along the largest side (height or width) and typically no more than four images per post or thread.

Please also ensure that you have a meaningful location included in your profile. Please refer to the FAQ for details of what "meaningful" is.

A bit of a mad scramble to get to the base of the falls, but worth the pain.
Comments and critique welcome, the good, the bad and the ugly :)

Fabulous landscape image Gerry.

Everything about it is top-class - the colours pop, the composition is excellent, the motion of the water provides a surreal addition.

Needs to be a big print on a wall.

Well worth the scramble! Love the depth and layers you've captured.

This is seriously good photography. I would say even amazing. The sky for me completes an outstanding capture.

Outstanding! I see Tickles and Chaos have not prevented you from finding photography time!

thanks guys - I can't take all the credit, the conditions just lined up for me here, 15 minutes beforehand it was nothing but blue sky which would have resulted in a significantly different shot.

i got just one day to go and punch some landscapes over the whole holidays :(

Chaos has been helping me with some landscapes, shes great with the remote :? not so good at listening, just loves to see me get frustrated when i try and compose the shot and she lets fire with 15 million shots... :evil:

....and you decided to have another one? I think it would be great fun watching you struggle as well! Let me know when you are headed out next.

Very cool Gerry - almost like the clouds are coming down and becoming the water in the falls
