I feel like I am seeing some double lines in image #1? Looking at the main large branch in #1 where it intersects the waterfall? I haven't been drinking... Promise! Did that large branch have some movement during the long exposure?

I like all three of these, nice job using the tele to find some interesting compositions. Cool to see some intimate shots from Patagonia. Shutter speed works well for these falls and processing is tastefully done. Love how you got the red in all four corners in #1. #2 feels more abstract with it's lack of scale, and #3 conveys the height of the falls well.

Thanks. This was my attempt to get something different from Patagonia. I was about a week late for the peak fall colors but this area was near the base of Fitz Roy and still had some colors remaining.

These are very nice Harsha. I like the 2nd and 3rd best. I like the looks of the water best on #2, it appears to have a faster shutter speed. Nice work here.
Thanks Dale. I tried different shutter speeds for the water and end up liking half a second shot better.

Hi -
Like all - Especially like slower shutter speed for the water -

Thanks Jim. I noticed the of area in #3. I need to go and look if I have one with that area in focus. I took several shots with different focus points.

Hey Harsha,
How nice to find something different from Patagonia. My favorite is #1. But I like all of your takes here. There is some DOF issues perhaps in the lower right of #3 that take away from it a bit, but it's still nice.
Thanks Tuan. I need to go back and fixed these.

Really like the different scenes that you captured from what I've seen from Patagonia. There appears to be focus stacking issues, however, in all three images that are fairly noticeable. Hopefully these issues can be easily resolved because all these images are really wonderful.
Thanks. Appreciate the comments.I am thinking of printing # 1 .

The first shot is just crazy good - all 3 are great but number 1 just has that X factor. It's brilliant. I think it's the red trees in each corner providing a fantastic frame. The tree provides depth and you've treated the water really well. Awesome stuff!
Thanks Larry. Appreciate your input. I am printing at least one of these, most likely #3. We need to finalize that night shoot we have been talking about for more than year. Take care. Post that heron shots will you?

Well Buddy, these are such beautiful photos. You should have them printed on metal.
To really see the beauty of these, I had to zoom out to view them in total. Of the three, numbers 2 and 3 look so similar that seeing the difference did not show until seeing them without scrolling down. I'd print Numbers 1 and 2. I really like #2 over #3 due to the upper left corner showing the light on the leaves. This, IMHO, helps frame the total subject which also brings out the dynamic range of the whole scene.
But, what the heck do I know about landscape photography, I'm still trying to learn how to take good wildlife photos.
Harsha, you have a gift in "seeing" a photo before taking the picture, which comes naturally to you and many have to try to learn.
Thank you. 80-400 is becoming one of my favorite landscape lenses. It is compact enough to carry and very good for long end tele shots. I used this quite a bit in Patagonia . I thought about buying a 70-200/4 lens for sharpness and the compactness but 400mm end is very useful for some shots like sand dunes, mountain peaks etc.

Nice set Harsha! Like Larry above, I prefer number two over number three. Three seems a little flat to me. You must be healing up well also. Congratulations!
I was a little surprised you had used the 80-400mm lens on these also, not that we care about gear over here. Looks like it worked well.
Seems like a stunning location, well spotted (or planned)!
I like #2 best although I'd like the water to stand out more (i.e. brighter), and perhaps a little more overall contrast.
In #1 I think the tree crossing the waterfall is unfortunate, it's kind of "photobombing" the beautiful scene. Also, there's some ghosting in that tree. Assuming it's not an HDR, it'll be from movement during the long exposure.
Promise! Did that large branch have some movement during the long exposure?
