Thank you for submitting your photo to the Free Study VII DPChallenge.
A good nature capture. It shows a clear blue sky, trees, and rocks.
I am not sure by looking at it where the focal point is. The bigger lower rocks seem to add to the confusion. You selected a beautiful location but there is a lot of image elements to view. If snow melt is the subject of your image, perhaps a closer zoom or crop would have work out better. You seem to have two objectives with the photo. One is the area where the snow melt is coming from, and the other is where the snow melt is going. I think cropping up a third way up from the bottom would have narrow the viewers eyes on the image.
I am not sure why you are not showing your camera settings, but they are vital to learning what works and what does not.
Another issue is the light source that is being used. It appears about early afternoon. This time of day produces a harsh light, especially on landscape photos. I would guess as well that this shot was a hand held shot. Most times landscapes shooting works better with a tripod. This would produce a sharper image, and provide more image detail. At this point the middle area of the photo looks blurred. Another possibility with this composition, is to move over to the center or the middle of this area and shoot from there.
Overall a good idea and composition.
Good luck in your future DPChallenges. |

| Nice location, but I'm not sure about the composition, I would have liked a bit more stream and less rock... |

| Cool shot. The waterfall is a bit far away, but nice composition overall. |

| this looks like a beautiful place. it would probably be better, though, to come back when the sun isn't so harsh. here, it overwhelms the details that could make this more interesting. good luck! |

| I don't care much for the composition of this shot, I would like to see less of the trees and more of the waterfall. |

| The first thing I think of when I look at this is that it was taken in very harsh, probably noontime, lighting. The lighting doesnt really help the mood much for this setting. The assumed focal point seems to be the waterfall but due to the position in the image it is quite a secondary element. The real focal point seems to be the foreground rocks, but they dont really hold too much interest. The color of the sky also seems to not be natural to the lighting in the rest of the image and so it stands out more than it should. It is cliche but putting more emphasis and possibly a closer composition of the waterfall would be more favorable of an image. |
