Misty Falls

the brightness and saturation gives the foreground even more weight.

That's what I like about it

Righto Johno, since I respect your judgment, I went back in and did some more adjustments.....and between the B&W and this version, I reckon I've got the market covered. What do you think? Did some split toning to keep the water and mist cool, giving me two versions I'm happy with for their differing points of dominance. Actually, I'm not sure the rocks overpower the waterfall so much in this version. Nevertheless, I like both this and the B&W.

Brian,

yes the fg is a bit too saturated here. You dont have to like any suggestion. If you just love the b/w more, I think thats fine with everybody. At the end, you decide.

Cheers,

Christian

I like it quite a bit- great treatment.  Actually, this is pretty much what I had envisioned for this shot.  The contrast between the cool, soft features in the background and the bold, vibrant warm foreground elements create a happy, back and forth journey for my eye.  Now, you just have to figure out where to hang all of the prints!
