Thank you Joy! #4939059Nikki McDonald October 17, 2007
Very nice capture, John. I love the way you have framed this waterfall so it is tucked in behind the nearest rocks and the overhanging leaves and grasses. Great water flow, too. #4939067Les Rhoades October 17, 2007
Manmade or not...it's beautiful. I really like how you frame the water with the green on the left and the gold hanging plant from above. That 1/2 second exposure really adds the right effect to the water. Spot on John!! #4939111John Caruso October 17, 2007
Thanks so much Nikki and Les! I appreciate your encouraging words! #4939138Michelle R. Kovach October 17, 2007
