West Falls of the Black River

West Falls of the Black River in Elyria, Ohio, after morning rains.

Like Mike, who replied in the thread of the East Falls image also posted by Don, I don't think this one is as strong a picture. The reason I say that is because I don't feel the lighting is as good in this one as in that other one. There's too great a contrast in this for me and with teh spray catching the sun as it does it makes a strong diagonal that cuts across the image and splits it into two parts.

The shadows are not showing much if any detail, and the whites are blown out. Maybe a little work in post can help these issues, it might even mitigate Don's concern.

I just wonder, Don, whether a crop of the sky and left side may concentrate the view more on the falls and remove a lot of distraction.
