Girl Beneath the Fall

This was taken on a trip to Costa Rica. The waterfall was located deep in the forest and only reached after 2 hours trek. This natural light was stunning and the water itself incredibly invigorating, if not a bit cold!

    i really really really like this one…. ;D but, do you reckon you could go back & grab it again with the honey, in something a bit cuter from the hips down, to add the magic of the shot. the water, movement & light is awesome. just wish the rest of the model was a little more femininely dressed or something (hope you know what i mean, no offense intended at all). ;D 8/10. :D

  • Peter Denness replied 21 days ago

    Hey, thanks for the constructive critique, its the best kind. I know exactly what you ,mean. Id only had my Canon 400D for about 5 days so didnt really know what I was doing, except for setting a slow shutter speed to get the water blurred. The model is my wife and it was in Costa Rica, so cant really pop back! the original was much wider but I cropped to this , making it more intimate and I warmed it up a little. I think she was a little shy to go for a bikini as there were about 20 other people there and we had trekked through the forest for an hour. A wonderful location though and shows the power of great light

    still…totally awesome shot. your wife is lovely. well maybe you can revisit this style of shot, at a location closer to home in future? ;D

  • Peter Denness replied 19 days ago

    I think she suggested the same, one for the future :)
