Ove this photo! It somehow reminds me of a Thomas Cole painting with the vast depth and color, accented by the winding river and beautiful waterfall. Really stunning shot! Well done! Congratulations on your win!

What a great fall scene in NY. The colors are super, great composition, My only suggestion is thelimited view of the sky. Maybe better to have it larger or just cropped off the image. FWIW.

    Yeah, probably should have cropped, it wasn’t a very pretty sky to start with!

This landscape is just breathtaking with the vibrant autumn colors, and you have pictured it so well. I especially like your point of view and how well you have captured the motion in the falling water.

The photo is also sharp with clear and well defined details in every part of the photo, and the exposure is spot on. The colors look nice and natural.

The format and framing is very good with fine leading lines, and it is a very good balance in the composition. Indeed a lovely and well taken photo Lee Ann, and with an excellent DOF. I wish you luck with the contest.

This photo deserves 6 stars, but I am afraid I have run out.

A lovely landscape photograph with beautiful autumn colors. The waterfalls in the foreground against the rocky terrain on either side, show great texture against the water and taken with great skill. The bridge in the background adds interest. Good luck in the contest.

This is a truly breathtaking photo! The colors, the elements (water, bridge cliffs) are nothing short of beautiful and deliver a most aesthetically pleasing site to behold. I do not see one technical glitch in this. The only thing I noticed was the bridge appearing to be slightly diagonal (higher on the left than on the right), that said, the runoff of water in the forefront cascade is perfectly straight. This is simply an observation and not a critique of this phenomenal image.

    Thanks very much. The gorge actually curves to the left just before the back waterfalls, so you are actually looking at the railroad trestle at an angle, giving it the illusion of not being level. Should have mentioned it in my notes, thank you!

Wow! What a masterful capture of the place. It weaves together the fabric of local heritage with fantastical elements, creating a tapestry of colour and creativity that celebrates both reality and fantasy. Bravo! Here's my SIX for you! Cheers!

Easy to see how it got its name! Your fine, full and appropriate composition offers us a very enjoyable view of your beautiful and dramatic location. Textures, colours and tones are good. Exposure and sharpness are fine. Nicely done!
