Still working through the images I created in my Maine fall color expedition.

Welcome to all. I began blogging Retained-Images in 2004 at My-Expressions.com. It is gone now.

If I may be permitted Harry ... with this format, our eye has too much of a tendency to wander off to the right instead of staying focused on the "waterfall"...

@Gérard: thank you for your thoughtful comment. Upon careful review, I agree that flowing out of the frame, especially with the relatively small flow is a compositional weakness. I don't regret my decision, but if I had cropped to exclude the flow after the last round rock, the image. Incidentally, I already cropped a boring swatch of green from the top.

Those rapids are tiny. I like the scattered leaves on the rocks.

I am ok with this composition. My eye still returns to the main waterfall and I like how I can follow the flow across the frame. Lots of great tones and detail around is good as well.

@Darkelf Photography: always so many decisions - from original in-camera framing to crop and process

Gérard from Chateau-Gombert, Marseille, France

I understand. And also, cropping a bit would have made a lot of beautiful dead leaves disappear: that would have been a shame.

@Gérard: so many decisions from where to stand, where to point, then where to crop and ...
again - I appreciate the time and effort to look, think and comment
