A very beautiful image, Kerry! I really like it,Kerby Pfrangle November 04, 2005
Very pretty, Kerry. Love the slow motion of the water in these falls. I can almost feel the spray of the water just looking at the image.Patricia Robinson Trapp November 04, 2005
WOW, Kerry! Your image is magnificent!! #2035979Kerry Drager November 04, 2005
Hi Amalia, Kerby, and Patricia,Incidentally, I was planning on catching the warm light of sunrise on that particular day, but a thick cloud cover cancelled my plans. Then, I remembered this wonderful waterfall, which I had visited previously on a sunny midday when glaring highlights and deep shadows prevented any good images. Moving water is always a great subject in the soft-and-even light of a white-sky day - no harsh contrast, of course, but the low light, small aperture and low ISO resulted in a long exposure and a nice silky-motion effect.
Thanks again, everyone!

Kerry, wonderful exposure, detail, composition and color; gorgeous image. #2142022Patricia A. Cale December 01, 2005
What a beautiful image, Kerry. I love the composition. Exposure is perfect, of course. What really grabbed me were the streams of water across the whole frame. This is a good example of really "seeing" what is before you and capturing it!Pat #2142231

Hi Janine, Pat, and Michelle,Thanks so much for the nice comments ... I'm glad that you like this image! And nice hearing from you, Pat ... and Michelle, a small world indeed (my in-laws used to live down the road from Dunsmuir - in Castella).
Thanks again!
