John, This is a winner on many levels. I like the diagonal, the foreground reflections and the waterfalls apparent softness. I say that if you have a series that is great, whether from one roll or a hundred rolls, it is a series.

John, you were obviously in the groove on this shoot. Beautiful. I wonder how the photograph would work if the foreground surface reflection highlights were brought up to the same level as the background water streaks- the contrast between somewhat chaotic and orderly linear patterns might be interesting.

All the best,
Daniel

They are all beautiful. A wonderful series in my opinion. Would love to see them printed so if you ever get on a plain to Lisbon, make sure you bring them along... I'll buy you a beer!

Thank you, Donald, and Daniel.
Daniel, you make a very good point....I'll explore it on subsequent printings. You're right about keeping those values about the same. I was slightly dodging the lighter areas without thinking to link them with the light area of the foreground. Thanks, again, both of you.

This is lovely but my favorite is the first one, I think the hanging leaves in that one have a beautiful glow to them.
