Default Bottom of Aba Falls

I didn't want to change to my wide angle lens due to the amount of spray from the water fall and didn't have a lot of time as the rain was coming and we were heading back... So I focused on the bottom of the falls (hand held), and framed up... There was not a lot of colour, so I thought that black & white was best. Whats your thoughts?

I think that it is fantastic looking and the black and white treatment works really well here

Interesting perspective. Smooth silky water in the middle and some streams on the right and left add so much interest.

really like this capture, there is the contrast between the forceful fast flowing water in centre shot and the rest to the sides and I think the B&W works well

A great shot and the B/W treatment works well.
