I have a image of the same falls from way back in 2013, but its taken from behind the waterfall, I would link it here, but google+ has just become craptastic and you cannot find your freakin' lunch let alone a post from a few years back. Flickr on the other hand makes it easy, so here's a link to it on there 🙂 https://flic.kr/p/eYyVAD
Anyway, the relatively minor amount of water coming over the falls meant that I could get right up close and personal with the falls, it was a bit of a challenge to capture the full dynamic range, even with the overcast day there was plenty of shadow under the ledge. This shot is a 4 shot panorama with each frame bracketed, the picture then manually blended to maintain the shadows.

Splendid shot. I agree. Flickr is much smoother.
wonderful shot, very beautiful
+Gerard Blacklock This shot gives a much better sense of the vegetation around the falls, it's a lovely image Gerard.
Magnifique

Thanks guys – one quick query.. does the image look too dark to you? I regularly edit in a dark room and often find my images look a bit too dark when looking at them on another computer some days later..

+Gerard Blacklock It looks very majestic but after reviewing the image again – yes – it could be a tad lighter to ensure the full appreciation of all the elements in this grand natural scene. Cheers!
+Gerard Blacklock Funny you should say that Gerard, I've been thinking the same thing about my images of late. 🙂 For this one, in the "thumbnail" in the post it does look dark, but when it's full size I think the image is well balanced, plenty of detail in the shadows under the rock, foliage off to the left is quite bright and some good solid black in the rocks at the top and bottom left of the image. For me, this works really well, the only caveat to my comments is that I tend to like images a little on the dramatic side, so I might be biased 🙂

thanks for the feedback mate, much appreciated.

good point regarding the thumbnail – it definitely looks dark but when viewed full res the detail and brightness seem to come back a bit.. i have tweaked up another version which is a bit brighter, however it does lose some of that dramatic feel (as you rightly noticed) .Thanks for taking the time to respond, much appreciated
+Gerard Blacklock No worries Gerard, happy to help 🙂
+Gerard Blacklock​​ was a bit hard to tell as I'm viewing it on my mobile. Your tweaked version does appear brighter or it may just be my lack of sleep (been up since 4am). I'll have to start viewing them on the pc again.
