I think this would have looked better had you gotten down lower with your camera Andy.

I'd have placed the falls higher in the frame and looked for some foreground interest to help lead your eyes into the shot. I don't think it needs so much of the overhanging branches in the distance as they distract you from the falls somewhat. Good technique shown on capturing the movement in the water though, Andy and it's exposed correctly too.

Yep I agree with Ian and think that was where DigiDiva was coming from as the falls are the focal point of the image, it is always worth walking around to look for a bit of foreground interest although you do have that rock to the left so maybe by getting lower and exposing a bit more detail in that rock it would have worked better.

I'd have gone with a higher viewpoint taking in more of the background falls and foreground. Alternatively framing the b/g falls and branches out with more foreground still maintaining the higher angle. All variations on a theme and the OP will know what is achievable logistically. The area of highlight is distracting on the right. However, this shot is tricky exposure wise and you've done well with that.

im thinking now maybe i should have took 1 of the lower and 1 of the upper, the upper would be tricky lighting wise though as it was coming from underneath a really low tree(about a foot off the water) plus with the amount of rain we've had in south yorks the area was a bit clarty nd slippy i should have took me wellies. also maybe i could move a few rocks about to add foreground interest

Having done some waterfall pics for the comp a few weeks back I know how hard it is to find the spot you really want to be in. (I still have the scars to prove it!)

I really like how you've captured the water. What caused the white area at the far right? Is there something else just out of shot?
