    Very nice shots Iggy. I especially like the first and second. Just wondering if you had you considered a vertical crop of the grasses in the 2nd?

    Thanks, Runmonty. No, I hadn't.... feel free to crop away and post back to the thread with your thought. I'd like to see what you mean.

    Cool. I like the crop. With my original I was really keen to get the sun reflecting off the water but this one is nice as well.

    For shot 2, to my eye that area is too long and wide for so much clipping, it steals the whole show, so i could see Rm's instinct to suggest the vertical crop.
    I like Rm's take on the cropping but i prefer the tones in your original image.

    I really like shot 3 here. If it were mine I'd likely burn in the bright tree at left by 5-10%.
    I'd likely dodge the white water at center all the way to the background by the same amount.
    I might play with bringing out a bit more detail in the shadows in the foreground water, and selectively increasing some of the the deepest blacks.
    I might even try a version where I cropped out the sky.
    My goal would be to get the eye to travel with the water.
    Although the setting is gorgeous, what brought you to that particular spot is most likely the water. So that's the story I would try to highlight if this were my image.
    Hope that makes sense and it's just my 2 cents

    I really like the third one, Iggy. I can almost hear the water reverberating off the rocks.

    I love the way the light is captured in feathery spores in the first one.
