Thank you, Jim. My wife is always telling me not to go down that rabbit hole... and then these guys show up. Glad you liked them.

Thank you, Leicaflex. Appreciate the thumb and your visit. Good to hear you liked the lighter side.

Thanks, Randy. Not sure my brain has readjusted from an overload of that fresh mountain air in Yosemite, but it'll happen. Glad to hear you enjoyed them.

When its a slow day...make the best of it!

No, no...not those #*%! stupid jokes again.

Terrific images, Vicki. Seems to convey we are looking at a mutual enjoyment in progress. The ostrich jumps at you!

Superb capture

Beautiful set right down to a double download!

LOL...that's a classic!

Appreciate the multiple thumbs, DickC. Pleasure to have you look in and let me know you enjoyed them. Re: the El Capitan image - I was grateful to be shown that location when the light was right.

Composition relates to placement or positioning in the image while depth refers to separation in distance. If you had a strong object in the foreground to look over or see beyond, it may create the distance or dropoff you seek. Perhaps darkening the grass would offer the same type of result.

Without seeing the whole scene with at least a 180-degree perspective, I believe what you are looking for is the 'perception' of depth. One way is to change your f-stop to make the rockface appear out of focus. That brings the focus of your subject (the waterfall) into stronger focus (the difference is creating a separation in the viewer's eye). You may have to zoom in or get physically closer (I can't tell from your image if that is possible). Another option may be to darken the rockface as though it is shade which will also highlight your subject with separation. An interesting tip I was given about waterfalls is that the water does travel the exact same path every moment. So once you have the focus and composition you want...take about five extra shots a few seconds apart. When you review them for processing, you will likely find a favored path from one image over all the others that enhances the presentation of the waterfall.

Superb showing, Sylvia. The dahlia is my favorite flower to see photographically; perhaps its the symmetry and well-defined lines.

Couldn't pay it to pose any better. Wearing its emotions for all to see and feel. Beautiful shot especially with the catchlights in the eyes.

Spot on focus and timing. Well done, Linda.

My keyboard has the same disease Good to hear you enjoyed them. Thanks for your visit and time to comment.
