Kranzkloof Falls

The suburb where I live is named after the Kranzkloof gorge which features this spectacular waterfall. The base of the falls, where this photograph was taken, is reached by a lovely (although occasionally strenuous) 4-hour (return) hike.

Well composed photo from top right to bottom left. I just wonder why did you leave the orange filter in place as there is no sky in your shot?

Thanks Vincent. I used the orange filter for two reasons: to increase the exposure time to get a milkier rendition of the water; and to reduce the contrast range between the rock and the water to a level that would be more manageable in the print (the rocks are an orange/brown colour, so they would be less affected by the filter than the white water). Unfortunately this scan does not show this well as the scanner has pushed the contrast up, blocking out some of the shadows and losing some of the subtlety of the original. I'll try to make a better scan.
 
Orange or not, wonderful work. I use an orange in these types of shots from time to time for speed control, too. I often forget the ND guys!! Logan
