These were taken earlier this year near the little village of Stainforth. At the right time of year, salmon leap the waterfall.

Very nice shots John. The first has a very peaceful mood and the second an interesting composition which works well in my opinion.

Very picturesque particularly the first image. The high contrast that I assume the lighting provided has been well handled. The shadowed rock on the lower left side of the second image may look better lightened a bit or reduced with a small crop across the bottom.

Looks like a great place to do photography.

The first word that came to mind when viewing the first photo was 'picturesque', but I see Paul has beat me to that observation, so I will say what a beautiful tranquil scene.

Very nice shots John. The first has a very peaceful mood and the second an interesting composition which works well in my opinion.

I agree with what Dave Ellis said.

Thanks Dave, L. Paul, Greg and Ken for your comments. Know what you mean about the second image LP. Because the shadow has a hard edge against a dark BG, it looks a bit artificial if I lift it any more but you're not wrong. The first image was really a trial of a newly acquired 10x ND filter but I was quite pleased with the result.
