Methinks you need a tripod and a higher aperture setting for this. Kind of cool, but all in focus would be better imo.

see, these have turned out better than previous stuff you've posted, specifically the last two and the waterfall, because you messed around with angles and focus.

and because this forum is so quiet...

Looks like it was taken at a different time of day (lighting is more 'golden'). Also, he used a long exposure to give the water that very soft veil-like look.

Finally, we don't have to crank our heads over to see it (his water is falling - yours looks like there is a windstorm and it's going sideways)!

does it look like that just from a longer exposure time?

BTW I just figured out how to take long exposure pictures on my camera............weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!!!!!
