Up close with a Cascade
My intention was to show the force of water cascading down. Does it work?

Appreciate your views and comments.

ramesh

Very intimidating capture here Rameshji. Funny how shutter speed evokes different emotions. This image reminds me Gururaja's,

Did you add noise? Lesser grain would work better IMHO. TFS

hi ramesh,
i have long admired this series of yours... it's a fabulous scene.

on this particular image, how would a strong b/w with maybe only a hint of a tint and no grain look? the fury of the water in the raw would have been more natural and hence powerful in strong contrasts, to my eye and mind.

in fact, i have only seen images from this series in monotones - how does it look in color? i wonder...
best,
Arati

Thanks Madhav and Arati for your views. I added grains, Madhav as I felt that enhanced the appeal of the image.

Arati, you made a very good point that strong contrast would enhance the forces of nature. I completely agree with that. Thanks for pointing it out. This images needs a rework. I will post a reprocessed image in color (:) BTW T-Rex was in color).

Very interesting treatment of tones and fine grains together here Ramesh ! However to convey the force I think the tone used to could be slightly different. I think some hues around yellow/orange range as toning may help as catalyst to fuel the response to such force of nature.

Well captured Ramesh. I am very partial to monotone. But here the colored version has worked better. The grains have sought of muted the feeling of raw force in this version. Closing in on the subject in elimination to other elements has worked well.

The subject and treatment is nice! An unique image with visual appeal. Look forward to your reprocessed image.

Thanks Ganesh, Raj and Nikhil for your views. Appreciate that.

Ganesh, will have to try your suggestions on yellow/orange hues. That's sound very interesting.

Raj, I am very partial to B&W too:) Monotones is something have been experimenting with lately.

Nikhil, have posted the reprocessed image in the illustration forum.

A fabulous image, Ramesh! I too liked the one in Illustration forum. But, I have a feeling that this(grainy) version will look better on print. TFS.
