No amount of processing will fix bad composition - trust me i have tried.
Re: To branch or not to BranchI also think that the image works better without the branch. It is better balanced.

Re: To branch or not to BranchBranch off; otherwise the photo would require
serious cropping on the right as the water fall is framed between the branch and the trunk of the tree.
Re: To branch or not to Branchno branch for me either. I understand what you were going for in framing the waterfall but I don't think the branch is thick enough to pull it off.
can I just say though that this is a spectacular image. I absolutely love it. love the angle, love the tree, love the colour and exposure. its brilliant mate...and that's coming from someone who regards most landscape photos with a big fat "meh".

Re: To branch or not to BranchThanks for the feedback guys, much appreciated.
phillip, you have certainly muddied the waters! thats actually a really nice idea for a crop with branch on the right of the frame, cheers mate. Note, i actually preferred it with the branch in there, but i don't think there is any real logical reason for that except that was how the scene was...after looking at it quite a bit it does look better without teh branch.
nailed it zafra..
Cheers Chris, its only a short drive from your suburb, coulda dropped past and pocked you up in the way ![]()

Re: To branch or not to BranchNow I like both without branch and the cropped one
with branch. I would look great in a big print on wall.

Re: To branch or not to Branch
Hi Robert - this was National Falls in the RNP
Note that this particular day was particularly Rodney-style time (not sure why it's my style since it's Gerry who decided we needed to go to the RNP at some ungodly hour ![]() I was up at 3:15AM, picked up Suren around 3:40AM and then Gerry at about 4AM for the trip down to RNP (arrived at Garie beach just before 5AM - sigh...)

Re: To branch or not to Branch
![]() agreed.
best time of the day ![]()
RNP - awesome location - i have been down there a number of times by myself (against my better judgement probably) for sunrise at various locations.. if there is really is interest i can put up details of the next session down there - i rarely do that now since 1) not much interest here at dsrlusers and 2) i enjoy time by myself to do photography ![]() fyi lots of good spots, just need to get to them ![]() Whattamola - great spot, if its pounding like this its pretty much a knee deep walk (waist deep when you hits a sand pocket) across the flow to get there but close to carpark. ![]() Wattamolla by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr Cliff line south of eagle Rock - long walk in, 5km each way ![]() Cliff Line by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr Curracurrong falls just near eagle rock ![]() Upper Curracurrong Falls by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr cool waterfalls into the ocean - Curracurrong falls into the ocean ![]() ![]() eagle rock ![]() some more falls ![]() Upper Curracurrong Falls by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr and of course recent trip to Garie Beach ![]() Garie Beach Rockshelf by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr and a old picture of upper national falls - hey look there's that bloody branch again! ![]() Upper National Falls by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr lower part of national falls ![]() The National Falls (Lower) by Gerard Blacklock, on Flickr ahh cant be arsed finding more pictures ![]() gerry's photography journey
