Haven't caught the shooting bug this year, been at least 2 months since I touched my camera. Biggest drought in 6 years. Went out with John Richter and Mike Sherwin Sat. for an exploration trip up our usual stomping grounds out Hwy 2 and discovered a small but unknown gem for us. Had a great day shooting with old friends. Came away with 2 I kind of like, hope you do too. C&C also welcome. Rick

Hey Rick,

That is a cool area with all that moss covered rocks there. Especially that large flat area of green in #1 is cool. But 2 thoughts on both.

1st off the speckled light is not helping these shots, the eye is drawn to the light, it's a saying, but it's true So in #1 the eye is drawn to the right of the waterfall to some plain rocks because they are lit. In #2, the eye is drawn to the lower right corner because of the light. So shooting this area at a time or on a day when there is no direct light will really help.

2nd, the compositions both seem unlbalanced a bit. It's almost like you were forecing the foreground too much because it's cool looking and the scene does not flow naturally to the waterfall in the back. Now some of that may be due to the light in the shot, because that kind of spotlighting can really unbalance a shot visually.

Thanks Jim , I think this area will get some attention at different times of day and lighting for awhile, hopefully that will open up more opportunities for better results. Rick
