 Taken at Cedar Falls, in Hocking Hills State Park in Ohio. While taking shots for this challenge this young man asked me to take a picture of him and his girl friend, because he had something to give her. Yes he really did propose to her in front of the falls and I was honored to be able to catch their special moment.

Not sure what the shuter speed was but the couple did a good job of standing still!

Also...I think this would have been great if the man and woman would have been fully dressed as though they were at an expensive dinner or something.

Beautiful water and tones.

Nice addition of a personal momment to this shot. Definitly makes it stand out of the crowd (other waterfall pics). Her face looks a bit soft though.

Nice idea and composition. Given the challenge, a title that ties in the water might be better, like "Romatic Falls" or "Falling for You Forever."

it's nice, but really cheesy for me...I don't know what to focus on...the waterfall without the people would have been better as it was beautifully captured

I would have enjoyed the shot more without the people in it. Just feels to set up for me.
