Wonderful images Ian. I like the composition in the second and third ones a lot. I need to find a waterfall somewhere and try this out. They are nor real common in this region.

These are wonderful Ian, I couldn't pick a favorite! Well composed and your water is silky and smooth. Crystal clear focus. I love the composition in the last one. Just stunning.
Thanks for sharing these
Michael.

Love your waterfall pictures, they look so cool and calming. We don't have waterfalls around here so it's always nice to look at pictures.
