There’s a lot right about this picture: positioning the waterfall to one side works, including the foreground rocks and foliage adds a burst of colour and texture to the bottom of the frame and the shutter speed is perfect for creating blur while also retaining some detail. However, the post-processing is heavy-handed, which has destroyed some of the atmosphere of the shot. Moving those sliders back a bit would definitely help.

**This contest is open to photographers ranked 1000+ in this week’s <a href="https://www.photocrowd.com/photographer-community/">Leaderboard</a>.** Natural spectacles that are always worth a hike up a long path, waterfalls provide a wonderful blast of energy in a landscape scene that might otherwise appear relatively static. Whether you choose to shoot with a slow shutter and blur all of that moving water, or freeze the torrent in mid-air with a fast shutter, there will be movement and power inherent in the image.
