Title: Color Spray - Square Crop or Full?
Post by: maddogmurph on December 30, 2018, 09:52:57 pm

Also, is there enough shadow detail? I honestly just think the composition might be unbalanced. I'm not sure it's fixable.

The water doesn't seem to fall vertically?

A Bit... the water is placed on the edge of the frame and slightly distorted. Wide angle lens being the cause?

In both cases, the waterfall is too close to the left edge, thus making the composition  “unbalanced”.

There is something "artificial" on the left side of the waterfall, some kind of movement that disturbs me.
Maybe the right part of the picture was cropped and is missing?

You've got two subjects competing with each other.  The waterfalls and the tree on the right with too much space between them.
