Just a straight shot, but what a pretty setting.

Well seen and processed. I like the muted foreground greenery. The yellow moss is a welcome balance too.

Thanks, Slobodan, always good to hear from you. Yes, the yellows and greens are quite striking; fwiw, the yellow is really a lichen that grows on the rocks.

Nice! Simple yet strong. As a nitpick, are you sure the yellow thing it's a lichen? Seems atypical to grow on a vertical wall so close to the fall (not that I know much botany)

Thanks all!
Armand, moss or lichen or something else; stuff? I don't know. I've seen a lot of it in Iceland amongst green moss. Whatever it is, it is extraordinarily beautiful in certain settings. See this: lichen (https://www.britannica.com/science/lichen)
Also, you have to realize I was poking the bear a little (Slobodan) ;D
If somebody knows, I would love to know.

Perhaps this would be a better metaphor? ;)

Great shot Dave and I agree, if it looks pretty, then shoot it as it is.

Superb... I like how lichen looks like sulphur deposits on volcanoes.
