Buzzkill Falls!!!

Nice shot. We've been sorely without rain for a while, so the flow they have isn't too bad. It's actually nice when it's like that, as well as when it's going full bore. Funny, but I haven't been there since I've started shooting seriously. Go figure.

I thought it looked like there wasn't as much water as last time. I didn't think we were in a drought, but guess I was wrong.

Nice shot, I really like the composition. My only suggestion would be to work a bit on the post processing. It annoys me that the water has a color cast (reddish-magenta). Maybe the image was over-saturated? You could either try to get rid of that cast by decreasing the overall saturation, or creating a B&W mask just over the fall so the water would be white.

We're definitely not in a drought, but we really haven't gotten a lot of rain of late, and these falls run off feeder streams and are pretty reactive to rainfall.

I'm with Marcel regarding the color tinting. A levels adjustment using the whites selector in one of the hot spots in the falls is all it needs to color correct it.



There's definitely some variation within the colors, so selective desaturation might help as well.
