[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is St, Claire's Falls, Sri Lanka's widest fall located in the hill country town of Talawakelle. I included the hills around it in the shot too, because they are just too beautiful to be left out. You can spot some tea pluckers at work at the bottom of the picture.

Some basic PP work- gaussian blur and blending on Photoshop to give it a bit of a dreamy look.

Hi Subashini,
unique shade of green color. I really like this green. Foaming white water is a beautiful accent. Very picturesque landscape.

Hello Sub,
The composition is flawless. Such soothing greens...the waterfall is rightfully placed in the frame, the addition of tea harvesters is good. Technically, a teensy slight overexposure on the water - the same problem I always encounter in water fall pics. Many people have told me to use spot metering on the water. I hope things are well with you. I am happy to see this might fine posting. My best regards dear!

Hi Subashini,
The vibrant green is amazing. I like the composition with the tea pluckers in teh FG. Gives it life.

By the way, me and my family is planning to come to SL for a visit in December. So I am looking forward to shooting many of these scenes myself.

What a lush and beautiful scene:) Good composition and rich colors/contrast. The slight OE in the water even adds an extra glow in its fall down the slopes of the hillside. Your pp work does create a dreamy, misty mood, yet the details still show nicely. Well done:)

Hi Sub.

Delightful view indeed with saturated green and flowing water. Very good framing and thanks for sharing.

Regards,
Jusni

Hi Subashini,
