The Aberdulais falls in South Wales near Swansea (UK) were first exploited for copper and tin smellting since the end of the 1580's .It is nowadays Europe's largest waterwheel used to produce electricity, which makes Aberdulais Falls self-suffiscient in environmentally friendly energy.

Stop trying to figure out who's talented and who's not, and just take a shot at it, okay? Do some art. Tell anybody who asks that I said it was all right. ---Emma Bull

Impressive water curtain. Looks so sheer with the light and reflection capture. The rest of the image is also nice to explore. Well done.

I like this very much. I like the framing of it with the little bits of green on the right and bottom. I'm not usually a fan of the soft water look. (I'm a realist and like to see it true) But, it does work well here. Congratulations on a wonderful picture.

Beautiful image. The composition is excellent.

The waterfall is striking. The effect of the water does translate visually into that of a sheer curtain. There is something mystical and not quite real about this image.

One aspect that I like and don't, to a degree, is how the 'white' of the falls washes out certain apsects. On one side it adds to that mystical quality, just being present before that curtain of water, hmm, adds something. It does provide a focus of sorts and the other ... perhaps, it is a bit too dominant in the image?

Very nice detail and very colour rich.

Thanks for sharing.

I would like to spend many moments at this waterfall. I love the contrasts we see in the water as we move along the waterfall. I love the green trimmings in this pic. I love the light in this pic. Thankyou for bringing such a beautiful thing into my home. :o)

The composition of your photograph is excellent and I particulary like the effect you come up with using the slower shutter speed. It turns the water into something magical.
LOVE IT
