Beautiful. So serene and peaceful. Great lighting, colors and detail.

This looks like it belongs in National geographics.

This was shot down on the Old Bristol Docks. It is a favourite haunt of mine. Next time you are over here, get in touch and we can shoot a few frames together. Bath is just down the road as well. Stephen

No offence taken. This is what a website like this should be all about, At least you are prepared to offer feedback. As a commission, I would have hired a lift/hoist and shot the image ~ 50 ft up. Not possible as an amateur. Best regards Stephen

Very moody, in a nice way! Where was this shot?

Stephen, sorry if my comment comes out negative, it is intended with a friendly and constructive intent. I feel that this picture is seriously over-corrected. Perspective is straight but does not look natural. The ground, for example looks distorted rather than horizontal. My guess is that some kind of compromise between the two images would be best. After all, it has to look "right" rather than "straight".
Still, an interesting and enlightening exercise, and a nice shot!

Yes, we are getting plenty of rain over here in Dunedin, NZ. We are currenly on flood alert with rivers breaking their banks.

Where I took the waterfall image the annual rainfall is around 8000mm.

It reminds me of Mt Rainier National Park here in the Pacific Northwest. I Think it's time to get out and take pictures but it has not stopped raining since last year :)

Thanks for looking and commenting Zeiss Man and Rick.

Rick, this image was corrected in DxO Optics Pro 6 ELITE software using their excellent Geometry Tools. You have to shoot the frame(s) with sufficient margin around the subject if you plan to make these corrections as you can loose a significant % of the frame in the process, not a problem with the 5d Mk.II as the 21 Megapixel sensor allows a high degree of "cropability" without loss of IQ. The Mk.I was more of a problem. Stephen

This version definitely looks better. HOWEVER the original version give it a sense of grandeur as the it leads you up to the heavens.
