Motif: Waterfall in the Desert? Would you Believe?

I like the water effect. However I think a vertical composition would look better than horizontal, focusing only in the waterfall. Just my opinion.

Nice image but I agree that a vertical would probably work much better here.

Mmm, I like this horizonal composition. Gives a sense of environment.

Took both Horizontal and Vertical.. Did not like the Vertical of just the waterfall only.. Was or seemed to be too static i guess..
like a record shot...

Can you post that image here, so we can see it?

I've been there. It is a treat. This is an excellent shot of the fall and its environs.

A vertical and removal of the blue cast - I seem some realy possibilities here.

i think vertical vs horizontal is a mute point here. in either case, what i think the image needs is even more enviroment. what would be esp interesting would be a sense of enviroment that gives a hint of its desert location. as it is, this could be anywhere.

i still don't understand the notion of eviserated water. looks like a piece of installation art - kinda like Cristo hung cotton gauze down the cliff face.

in my experience a warming filter is not going to cut it here in a scene with such high uv content. you need to do some global AND selective color work to natural it up.

Cannot give you any more of its environs.. The waterfall is in a somewhat narrow canyon in Death valley area. Ther is no way of giving a better scope of the desert scene this is pretty much it.
I had used a KR6 filter here which is equivalent to a 81E/F filter... I personally like the coolness of the slight blue cast in it being it was in total shade and actually cooler in the canyon that out where the car was parked befor walking in there...
