Nice picture. This looks like one of those waterfalls that are not on a map, and only locals know about. I love the deep rich colors of the leaves above the falls. The scene is not your "typical" wide open landscape that leaves you exposed to the vastness of nature. It's more like a warm, cozy pocket in the blanket of nature. I could easily see myself sitting on the rocks in the foreground eating lunch, taking in the sounds of the water fall and the colors of the leaves, and being at complete peace by myself, yet not alone.

great picture. The white falls against the nearly black water works wonderfully. The leaves in the pool add a lot as well. The border is used to good effect.

hi Jaxed,
I love this photograph. To me, the softening *works* -- when I first looked at the photo, I was amazed at how smooth and soft and flowing her hair, face skin were! I love the effect here -- it's fantastic. My eyes kept coming back to her hair, her face, her skin; to me, that's one sign that a photograph is good -- you want to keep looking and looking. She's a lovely girl, and you captured natural light on her face in a very attractive way.

My only suggestion would be to be careful when shooting white clothing on kids/people, b/c they often tend to "flouresce" and look blue-ish or over-whited in a finished digital shot. For me, anyway, it's really hard to get white clothes to look best in a digital picture. Sometimes I deliberately ask people to change, just b/c it's so hard to get the white clothes to look their best when the face/skin look THEIR best.

But that aside, I still love this picture. I'm new to this forum, hopefully will register soon, and I really look forward to seeing more of your work. Thanks for sharing this photo! :)
Jennifer
