Nice image; but suggest trying some front tilt to change plane of focus so front to back would be in focus.

Very Brilliant range of tones and a good solid composition. Like everyone else, that out of focus rock in the foreground really hurts and otherwise excellent shot.

thanks for the comments. I was wondering what would be best; smaller apurture, focusing closer in to the foreground, or using some of the movements of the view camera. The movements are still very new to me, and am not sure about it.

I'd like to suggest cropping out both the small bright area at the top and the branch at the far right. Doing so will also remove some of the rock at the bottom right to which someone's already objected. What's left of that rock could be burned a little to lower its value so it's not as distracting.

But that's just my $0.02.

wfwhitaker, great idea. I was already trying to decide if that was a viable option, but I guess I just needed to hear it from someone else. I cropped it to remove the rock and some of the noise/clutter in the back ground. Everyone else-Please view the resubmitted photo and let me know if it much of a difference. I think it did, but I'm biased.

On my monitor the highlights (of the rushing water) are blown.

Very nice! If you're lucky enough to have a 5X7 enlarger, try a crop as others have suggested.

Good thing you've got a boat pic as your avatar.....I had the initial thought of you packing a 5X7 B&J/tripod/etc. into a ww playboat! :>)
