That first image is superb. Nicely composed and executed. I love the horizontal lines of the rock face bisecting the vertical waterfall lines.

Lovely light in shot 1 as well!

Lovely shots asnow.

Cool images. The person in shot 1 gives a fantastic sense of scale.

Thanks everybody. These were taken with my new Canon 10-22 lens I just purchased (love that lens). Would never have been able to have fit that first picture in with the kit lens.

Marko - It is interesting you say you like the light in shot 1. It was a bright sunny day (not a cloud in the sky) that with the high dynamic range I wasn't sure I could even save this image. Worked it Lightroom and this is what I came up with. Thought later that I should maybe have tried multiple images and HDR.

AntZ - It's funny - when I took the picture I was ticked that the person at the top of the falls was there and wouldn't move. But in hindsight as you say it does give you a sense of scale.

Lovely captures Asnow, you really did them justice. Have seen most of these myself, and I know how hard they are to get a decent angle, and no people in them. Nice to see the person to show the height though. Lovely sharp lens you picked up. Good choice.

Thanks HBG. I chose this lens first as it allows me to get shots that I just can't capture with my kit lens. Later I can upgrade my zoom to probably the 70-300. For now I can get still get those shots with my 55-250, just won't be as sharp.

Oh these are nice. Love #1, having the person at the top of the falls adds to get a perspective of its size ...

I like first one too.

Thanks Matt, Vyeko.

Just because the light is bright doesn't make it bad if it strikes the subject in the right way as it's doing here. If I were extra fussy, I'd likely burn in the bottom left a bit. That would help hold my eye on the falls even better.
