Hey Adam … NIce Shot. I also like the framing, but even more than that, I like the lighting AND the use of shutter speed to get that soft water flow effect I’ve seen in so many of your images. Nice work!!
Adam Bykowski replied
Thanks so much John. This shot is fairly easy. The whole image depends on avoiding direct sunlight on the waterfall. I had to wait for the sun to get covered by the clouds again because it kept popping in and out of the clouds. When I took a shot with the sun out, the waterfall looked washed out and the contrast was too harsh.

I’m really loving your waterfall shots here Adam. This one is quite striking in that it appears as though you “discovered” it – from the angle and composition of this shot. You have a keen eye for interest in perspective. Cheers, S.
