The more I looked at my other shot of this falls, the more I agreed with those of you who didn't like the dark rock in the foreground. Here is another shot I took the same morning.

It was a misty morning, and I didn't want to change the mood of the scene with increased contrast.

Beautiful scene! Perhaps rather than a contrast adjustment, warming the scene might give it a bit more impact but its very nice as is.

Beautiful shot, Skip!

I DO like this better than the other version. Now the FG isn't so overpowering and I can get up close and personal with the waterfall.

I agree about the contrast, but understand your position, though I believe what I'm actually seeing is a slight blue cast overall. As a quick test I tried auto levels in PS and the difference was dramatic!

Best Regards,

Jim Tomisser
