I love this photo! But there are some composition problems that I noticed, which may be why you feel so awkward about it. There's a lot of business going on in the front, on the left and right. The waterfall is also very close to being directly in the center. This would be fine if there was something else in the top, right corner of the photo... but compared to the rest of it, that area is rather empty. Perhaps next time you should make sure a branch is hanging down in the foreground, or something like that. All that said, I really do like this shot. It's beautiful, and the colors and exposure are fantastic. Great work!

thanks love, yeah mabey thats what i'm not 100% on board with... i did stress over the compo. normally, i don't crop my shots at all, i do that with the focal length when shooting, but this one didn't seem right... i did kind of like it framed by the branch on the left and the log on the right though...

This is in Cloudland Canyon? I know where I'm spending my summer. I've been there a few times but never got a chance to hike around.

Also, there's a town called Cloudland in Chattooga County, where I live. It's a beautiful place, but Cloudland Canyon looks much better here.

i think everything about it is great. if it was more vibrant i think it would compromise the intergrity/reality of the photograph

I think it is lovely and have no problem with the warmth. It does seem to be a tad out of focus.
