I don't know why they call this rainforest stream Alligator's Nest but it is a crystal clear stream out of the rainforest just outside the Far Nth. Qld. town of Tully.
This shot was taken just above a favourite swimming hole for the locals. Incidentally there are no crocs there. The water is much too clear.

Love some feedback

Thanks for the comments Mark and Steve.

I'll have a look at the contrast as you suggest.

I really need to get my monitor callibrated and haven't yet been able to locate anyone able to assist with this.

It is a bit of a pain when I print on my Epson Photo R2400 ( hit and miss)

Any suggestions anyone?


Thanks

Love the photo, agree it needs abit more contrast, but only a bit.

one picky point from me is that I don't like the black frame, but that is my personal view.
Cheers REE :shock:

I agree with Ree, I like the picture but the frame does not fit in.
Cheers,

Bob I had a look at this and as you asked for a critique I thought it needed a crop to focus interest, lose the tree on the right, draw the eye to the origin of the stream, put in a drop shadow frame and then I thought, a pics worth more than a few words so have done it. I have met you so don't think you will be offended but if so will remove it. The image is an appealing one though. Cheers :) What do you say?

All comments are welcomed and appreciated.
This was my first go at a frame in CS2 and I really like yours better.
I don't think the cropping detracts at all either and does draw the attention upstream

Thanks
