Bridal Veil Falls HDR

[Billygast]

I am looking for critique on my photos Composition ... I feel something is off




This is a HDR from a 5 Exposure set at -2 -1 0 1 2 EV.

Thanks again.. Input is invaluable in the learning process

There actually isnt an HDR section. Would you perhaps like it moved to post processing?

[Billygast]

Yes that is what I meant...

Nice shot. The composition looks pretty good to me except for maybe that rock face on the left. I like the cold blue color.

It seems that the top center area of the waterfall is underexposed. Overall though a good image it's very calming.

I thought that too but looking at my other shots I took and some summer shots the rock is actually Black (see bottom right also) there so it is hard to pull out some more detail... I might try cloning in some cascading water in that spot

Love the photo, but am distracted by the bit of rock on the left hand side of the picture... Once I saw it my eye was constantly drawn to it.

I agree I will have to work on cropping that out

thanks for the extra eyes

Nice... Oh My, I think I need to visit Yosemite in the winter!!! I agree with some of the other posts that the exposure could be a little brighter to bring out more detail. The rock on the left is a tough call for me I'd have to see it cropped out, but it might bring the focus more to the subject.

Good job though.
