Artist's Comments

This shot is located in the Blue Mountains about an hours drive outside of Sydney. This waterfall was one that I had never been too and decided to explore on the recent course I ran recently.

Very tight location to shoot with walkways infront and around you and we were lucky to have overcast rain conditions when shooting but I would have liked for a darker kind of light to balance the shot more as you shoot from a shallow cave. But hey you cant win them all.

what i really like here is that you`ve blown out all shadows, thus accenuating the waterflow - do i get your idea right?
PS the only "bad" thing is this piece of orange sand, distracting attention

Yea I have darkened the shadows a bit especially in the vegetation because there was a lot of dead brown plants. I see what you mean by the sand. Thanks for the feedback. Cheers

I have re uploaded the shot and toned down the sand Lansur pointed out.

Quite dark, high contrasted rainforest scenes are what I'd like to see more of from you, beautiful work :)

Thanks Drew... there will be more to come that's for sure. There was quite a lot of unattractive dead foliage to the left so darkening the shot removed it from focus and then I selectively masked in what I wanted. Worked well.

Lovely work Matt, the transition from dark to light works so well. Would love to get to this location myself.
