Hi Derek,
What an amazing waterfall!! Such a hidden treasure, I'm definitely going to have to check this out. Looks like paradise.

The colours are incredible and the composition you've chosen is great. A very impressive photo, one of my favourites from this site for sure.

Thanks for sharing, have a great weekend,

Hi Derek,
Marvelous captue of the Owharoa falls. Excellent camera setting with the slow shutter time the falling water becomes like a vail! Great colours and brightness. Excellent presentation with the black frame, it enhances the image.

Hi Derek,

As mentioned earlier this would make a perfect postcard for the area, nice light and shadow on the waterfall and plenty of my favourite lush greens.

Hi Derek,
A very stricking photo. I love how you were able to slow down the shutter with such a high rate of available light. It certainly gave the photo somehting extra in motion. The side light on the falls is great and your tweaking process made it a wonderful photo. Did you notice the small dirt spot just above the falls?
TFS,
Niek

Hi Derek

This is a great shot of the falls - I've never been there myself. What a beautiful display the falls put on for you. After the rains we've had lately there must be plenty of water to cascade down
Very good focus and lighting too

And it was good to meet up with you yesterday

This is incredible, as if it is unreal. Very well captured color contrast and sharp detail of this waterfall scenery. The CPL effect is amazing.

Excellent work.
