I was born in the flat lands of Kansas in a family of nine. My love of images started when I was 11 in the mid60s and my mom brought home a box full of Life and Look mags. Being the middle child, withdrawn and depressed. I took these images, cut them up made collages to express myself. My Art form begain and so too my love of Photography. I still make Collages from found objects. But once I got my computer I turned to 3D Art. Then replace my old SLR with a digital and here I am. I now live on a small Island in the Puget Sounds. With my husband and two cats and a menagerie of wild life.

I think you may easily add more contrast and less light on the water , I've tried it on your pict, selecting only the water part of your image and it gives more relief IMHO. Anyway I like very much how you built this wonderfull compo ! Bravo ! and ....5 stars of course !

More contrasts for water = selected and to contrasting = good water... excuses my poor english! But, it's a wonderfull pict with superb light!

Thank you Jean-louis and Janis for you advice. I will try that in ps. But I would like to know what I can do with the camera so I don't have to postwork so much. My camera read too much exposure off the white water I think? This happened alot in most of my waterfalls shot.

I agree with Zorg, you need to reduce the white and lighting in the water... without that, I think it's a very beautiful place for to take 10000000 picture and play with the pov and all the natural material !!! Good day my friend :)

Try bracketing your exposures to get a range and then select the best one later, or take a reading from the water area then re-compose the picture and shoot. As for the histogram just make sure you never go over the right hand side (highlights), once you do you can never get it back, even from a RAW file (which is best for maximum adjustment afterwards). You might also want to set a longer shutter speed to get the flowing water areas looking smoother (if you have a tripod). Try a quarter or half a second exposure if the lighting allows, best on an overcast day. Keep trying and having a go, the main thing is to enjoy and learn :)

I don't have the foggiest what you asked, but, all I know I love it and the moss is awesome. lol. Karen :)

Excellent shot I think and a wonderful pov! What I tend to do is expose the water then take the image into Photoshop and use things light shadow/highlight to retrieve the details in dark areas.... Oh and if ya want you could try HDR on them ;) Beautiful shot anyway! Thanks for sharing.

It appears your white balance is out of whack on your camera. Try adjusting that to a warmer temperature, or, set your custom WB by shooting a white sheet of paper.

Beautiful...

There's nothing wrong with the white balance in this one, the camera was just fooled because it exposed for the dark land instead of the bright water. You need to expose for the water and use the smallest aperture (highest number) you have to force a slow shutter speed. And of course use a tripod, which the slow shutter speed will require. As Kai mentioned, that may require bringing out the detail in the dark areas with PhotoShop.
