Travelled down to Taupo for the weekend and got the "Standard" shots of the falls (it is very beautiful) but wanted something a bit different. Trekked up country (a bit) and this is the source of the falls. Bit of tidying up with spot healing, contrast, saturation and cropping and this is it.

Presents quite an impact. Like all of the elements.

Super abstract. It gives me ideas when I capture a river and falls like this.

I think in general it is hard to compose an image of 'just the water' for waterfalls. You have really done it here. The lines and shapes of the water (and that tiny bit of rock) make this an interesting and engaging image for me. 7.

I bet New Zealand is one of the most beautiful places in the world. This is definitly a diffrent angle on a moving water shot. I love the blues in the water.

I would have cropped out the foreground rocks...stunning colour and drama in the movement
