 I took this photo while on vacation with my family at Yosemite. I was hoping for some good weather but ended up with grey skies and a light drizzle all day long. Not the best shooting conditions. I would have worked better with the sky if the rain was not present. I'm not that interested in taking my camera out in the rain too much, or for a prolonged period of time.

Nice but a bit on the bright side for my taste, a third or even half a stop darker would have appealed more to me personally. Nice shot though, got a 6 from me.

Unfortunately you have over-cooked this one. In order to get the milky 'angel-hair' effect you have over exposed. Try using a neutrla density filter to reduce the light getting in through the lens, then add a draduated filter to cover the lighter areas of the image.

I like the placement of the falls in the upper left - but the colors seem a bit off - quite yellowish - as if the white balance was set incorrectly.

This is a superb photo (I really like how the eye is led back and forth between the water in the foreground and background), but it feels like the white balance is incorrect.

This picture has lots of potential. It feels a little heavy in the upper RH corner, partly because the rocks are a tad overexposed. You might experiment with giving the fall just a smidge more room at the top and cropping about 10% from the bottom. Overall the picture seems very sharp. I like the S curve in the river.
Where was it taken? Yosemite?
