Congrats to last months winners, love the diversity in types of shots.
For me it's either feast or famine (well...feast is a little strong, more like choosing between 2 or 3 vs trying to find at least 1).
Choosing this one as there is always a bit of adrenaline involved with taking this shot. There's a ledge behind me, not too close, but then after than the next drop is over an actual waterfall. Plus I just got tired of indecision.

Camera body: Fuji GFX100S II
Lens: NiSi 16mm f/2.8 ASPH
Aperture: f/11
Filters: Circular Polarizer
Short note on PP: Not a lot, just color temp adjustment, exposure tweaks and then sharpening. (Lightroom Classic/Photoshop/Topaz Sharpen AI)
Top vote (3p) + reason: johnahill - Love the subject, the lighting, color, reflection. Would love to be there shooting that view.
Runner-up vote (2p): The Rat - love the layering effect with the greenery, reflection and then sunlit mount.
Last vote (1p): mitesh - Beautiful B&W and I love how the lion just sort of emerges from the shadows.
