This one has got a much better balance between the different elements in the scenery. The sky doesn't seem to bright like this either. Sure the water "effect" is much stronger in the first one but it's almost as cool here. It's hard to decide on my absolute favourite among them. I'll leave it at a draw I think.
I love the feel of this scene. I can almost feel the air and the weight of the clouds. It gives a very clear sense of all the surroundings. Feels very natural and cozy. Great job!!
I like both of your Small Falls submissions (I actually went looking for the morning shot of Small Falls you mentioned wanting to shoot) enough that I think printing both and hanging them, framed, on your cabin wall, with a winter shot of this same spot in the middle, would make for an excellent triptych. Since these were shot 6 years ago, I'm wondering if you've upgraded your camera since then, the ones available today providing much higher resolution photos, that you might think about going back and reshooting? I started shooting digital, in 2006, with a little 5mp point&shoot Canon, and I got some decent shots with it (provided I used a tripod), but today I get much better images with my 18mp Canon DSLR. Just a thought.
