Kathe - This is really pretty. Love the whites and the yellows with the brown tones. Speaking for myself, I love to do this to water. Let's see what Peter says! I wouldn't change a thing? Is there a slight painterly effect that has been applied here? Gorgeous. #1320978

You have captured a real ethereal quality to this scene. The treatment you used here works very well. I agree with Debbie no changes needed here. Great exposure and I also think the water works well. #8995301

Jeff E Jensen October 25, 2010

Add my vote to the like column. I like the treatment you have applied. #8995359

Thank you. There is a filter effect (Deep Forest) in the onOne Photo Tools set that I used. I'm falling in love with it for my autumn shots.

Peter, we are all waiting to hear from you. Are you out there????? #8995394

Very nice, Kathe. You have framed it well. I like the treatment as well. I have yet to take that next step and get just beyond the photograph. I'll keep onOne Photo Tools in mind. #8996049

Beautiful photo, Kathe! I'm waiting to hear from Peter too....know he doesn't care for the slow mostion of the water usually!
The lovely yellow color is wonderful...makes me wonder why I've never even edited any of my photos from the trip to Devil's Falls, Have not even touched them but this makes me want to get in there and not only work on them, but go back and see if I can get them with fall color too!
Pretty amazing and artistic shot you captured Kathe...I hope you entered it in the contest and others outside of BP as well! #8996097

I do like the soft silky water and it does not over power the beautiful yellows.
I too like your filter. #8997584

Aimee C. Eisaman October 26, 2010

The bright yellows are just great.....I bet this is the best time of year to capture this! I too like the soft water effect in some images and think it works very well here. I think the painterly effect Debbie sees might be the movement of the leaves??? Also do you see the sledge hammer hidden in this photo? I saw it as soon as I opened it! :~) #8998227

Jeff E Jensen October 26, 2010

Geeze Aimee, why did you have to go and mention that. . . . #8998229

Aimee C. Eisaman October 26, 2010

So I'm not seeing things because it's after midnight??? LOL #8998258

Joan E. Hoffman October 27, 2010

Beautiful Autumn shot! Love the water... even if Peter doesn't.. but think it would look equally wonderful with water motion!

LOL... have to brag... had fall in northern Alberta... left... (and its snowing there now) finally arrived today in South Padre... and for the last 3 days of travel has been 86 to 99F So will send y'all some summer shots soon! #8999650

this is a great fall capture Kathe I really like the colors, and softness of the water. yes amiee I saw that myself right away. I wouldn't change anything....very nice #9000613

Kathleen Nealon October 28, 2010

Should I do something to eradicate the perception of the sledgehammer. I am assuming that it is the tree trunk that is closer to the inside, in the (viewing) UR corner. #9001464

Teresa H. Hunt October 29, 2010

Kathe this is beautiful. When I opened it, my first response was "Oh"! :)

The yellow, white and brown all blend together very well. I love this shot! #9003883

Aimee C. Eisaman October 29, 2010

I don't know I think it's a really neat hidden image that was natural. I don't think I'd remove it from this photo! How often do you get shots like that? :~) #9004309

Susan M. Reynolds level-addict October 30, 2010

I've come back to see this quite a few times since it was posted....just wanted to say again how beautiful it is and a perfect capture for fall ~ #9005382

Oh my gosh! I am so far behind with looking at and critiquing all your images. Last night was our town's Halloween parade and a group of us have spent many hours building our Church/school float. We took Proverbs 22:6 as our theme. "Train a child in the way he should go and when he is old he will not stray from it." The float was a the size of a big semi and we built a locomotive, four cars and a caboose on the flat bed. We won 'Best in Parade and 1st prize for large organisation.
So now back to your waterfall Kathe! I am in an excellant mood and seeing only good so am happy to compromise in my thoughts on 'veiled water-falls'! I like this beautiful image and in my mind's eye am sitting on that large rock day-dreaming. And would you believe it the water is blurred! :0).
