[Octane (Humayun)]

Clayton,

Thank you so much for your very kind words. And, yes, I do; I've been a Deviant for about 6 years now. My username is octane2.

Do you post your pictures on deviantART? I visit it often & your work is equal to anything I've seen there.

Mike,

Thanks, mate. I feel this is my best to date.

Dennis,

The water was a tricky to process to get the highlights just right in the broken glass-like area. I feel I could have done a little more, but, it would probably detract from the rest of the image as the rest is a little subdued and soft.

I’m impressed with the movement in the curtains of water and mist at 1/60 sec! You’ve done a great job on controlling the quite difficult lighting and the tonal range looks very smooth, natural and full on my monitor. Top stuff.

Cheers

Dennis

Phil,

Thanks, mate. Appreciate the support.

Stephen,

Thank you, sir. I done a fair bit of GIS'ing, and I cannot find a single shot which resembles this one. I appreciate your kind words!

Very well done!

Cheers,

Liz,

No, thank you! I'm glad you like it.

Trevor,

I'm blushing and gushing, haha! My head's about to explode!

The image looks deceptively simple, but, you're absolutely right, there is a lot going on within all the different features. Someone mentioned to me that the image actually looks like you're looking out /over/ a waterfall. I never realised that the broken glass-like region at the bottom looked like that. Now when I look at it, I can't help but think like the person who told me that!

Thank you so much for the very, very kind words. I'm not worthy!

Humayun, I have been a great fan of your work since I have been on IIS.

Your work is often innovative, sometimes I look at it and think that there is no way you could surpass a particularly brilliant effort, yet routinely you manage to do just that.

You seem to push the boundaries for excellence and deserve to be recognized for it.

H, I read your description for this image, however when I looked at it, into it, I was just so taken with the subtle textures the softness of it the contrast between the vertical flowing lines and veils of the falls with the wind patterns on the water below. I see the shapes of hooded people in the rocks and in the falls, much like old Prof Dumbeldor from Hogwarts.

I know what it is but I think it is more than a waterfall, it really does have a quite surreal property and it is due in no small part to the talent of the man behind the camera lens.

Regards
Trevor

Ron,

lol, thank you!

Peter,

I appreciate your kind words. As I mentioned above, I haven't been able to find an image similar to this, so, I'm quite chuffed that I've managed to grab something different.

Thanks so much, everyone. Nowadays, I'm not one for spending eons of time in post processing on my terrestrial images, but, this one just had to be done. Looks like all the hard work paid off on this one!

Regards,
Humayun
