Taken in Yosemite, a little over a week ago after 2 days of continuous rain. This particular morning was still drizzling, and the mist in the valley was playing its magic. This is Bridalveil falls shot from the tunnel view.

I hope you like it!

First let me say that it's a great capture. I'm going to fave it as-is.

The textures of the rocks and the trees and the fog are spectacular. Simply the scale of the scene is literally awesome.

I'm not a stickler for the "rule of thirds", but it has some merit for the balance of a scene. You got it perfect horizontally. The trees become their own point of interest, almost as if a separate image, and have a mysterious quality of their own.

The waterfall, however, has an inherent directional quality, and seems to move towards the left. In all seriousness, the only thing I could suggest is to move the camera a bit to the left (in other words, move the waterfall a bit to the right).

Despite that, I still give 5 stars for impact. Great work!

This is a lovely image. The choice of letting the water smooth while still being able to maintain the fog details is just wonderful. Unlike the other reviewer, though, I'm a bit bothered by the centered waterfall. I'm not usually a stickler for rules of thirds, but even a slight offset would have helped in my opinion. Mainly I think it's becuase the water is flowing to the left which gives it a bit of an unbalance to my eye.

I do love the way you can almost feel the fog moving through the trees and the sharp contrast on the front few really helps give a 3 dimensional effect. This would likely look wonderful in Black and White.
