Hello, Geoff.

Wow!

Colours. What fabulous colours!

Funny, as soon as I saw this, I kind of knew it was taken with a Nikon. I see that Nikons seem to be able to produce incredibly vibrant, yet faithful, greens - far better than my Canon can though I suspect someone good at post-procesing could correct that.

It reminds me a bit of the old days when I used Kodachrome which have vibrant reds and blues and yellows. Occasionally I would use a roll of Agfa CT18 and, although it was a bit grainy, it did give more faithful colours in landscapes and pictures such as this.

Anyway, to your picture. A great study in greens and browns with beautiful lighting. Compositionally, a lovely diagonal streaks from top left to bottom right with other lesser diagonals at right angles to it. Very nice.

I wish you had included your exif data but I presume (because you used a tripod) that you employed a slow shutter speed and small aperture because of the deep depth of field and the lovely blurring in the waterfall on the right.

A lovely restful picture.

Best Wishes,

John.
