In the grand scheme of waterfalls, these two falls arenโt jaw-dropping spectacular. The falls are about 15 feet in height. What they lack in height and drama they make up for by completing the scene; rock formations, trees, quiet (normally) streams and a waterfall or two.
A traditional waterfall shot has the waterfall filling a major portion of the frame. I chose to show the Lower Falls encompassing the entire scene since the falls by themselves are relatively small. The Lower Falls is still the subject, I just wanted to show it in context to its environment. Given all that, I needed to pay extra attention to some composition and post-processing techniques to indicate the falls as the subject.

In addition to the banner, I am adding this more permanent recognition of its FEATURE on the homepage of A TREE OR TREES IN BLACK AND WHITE. I try mightily to feature only images that would be at home in a juried competition. No doubt that this image fits that bill. CONGRATULATIONS! And consider adding your image to DISCUSSIONS "Please post your featured photograph here" for greater, long-lasting visibility.
