Hi there!

This is my first post on this forum.

The picture here was taken inside the Tenorio NP, Costa Rica last year. The colour on the water is the effect of volcanic minerals that escape from the crust and mix with water creating the colour you see in the image.

Thanks for looking.

Hi Juan,

Welcome to FM Landscape! You captured an interesting subject and great colors. I am not trying to diminish your work, but here are a few thoughts that occurred to me that could help. You may of course take them or leave them.

1. The blurry branches on the right are a little distracting. Taking a second exposure at a faster shutter speed and blending the two shots together would allow for the water flow that you like with sharp foliage as well.

2. The water is clearly the focus of the image, but the flow of it leads the eye from the center to the left leaving the right side as an afterthought. Finding a slightly different vantage point would keep the eye moving through the whole frame.

3. A little more breathing room between the rock in the lower left corner and the edge of the frame would give a better sense of completion. Same thing with the cut off rocks along the left edge.

Welcome and nice first pic. I agree with comments above. Since this is a left centric comp I would knock out the right side with a 8x10 crop, which would leave the comp more balanced.

Very nice image and processing. I agree with some of the above posters about the water being the focus of the image making the image feel a little unbalanced. Cropping off the right 1/4 or so of the image would complement your photo better IMHO. Great overall.

I agree, this is a very nice image and agree with the changes to make it better.
I would add that the long-exposed water, is blown out in spots that distract.
I would try taming those.

Thanks for posting
