Falls at Night

Travis I agree with JC the spotlights in the water are overexposed. Depending on what software you are using , you might be able to isolate that area speficically and either decrease the exposure or turn down the brightness. I like the framing. The picture may benefit from a 1 degree clockwise adjustment as it appears a little crooked to me. it would be nice to get more detail from the water running down , but I am not sure how your do that.

Yeah, the lights are more than just overexposed, they are completely blown out, there is now way to get any detail back from them. Also the whole point of this picture was to get the silky moving water feel. The only way to get detail in the water is to use a faster shutter speed to stop the motion, or slow it down, but I didn't want to do that, I wanted to keep the movement as much as I could.

I like the photo, and also agree with the previous comments, except about it being soft. The area without water looks sharp enough, and f16 should give you a deep depth of field, depending upon your point of focus. I like the silky look of the flowing water, but the lighting on the waterfall itself is not ideal and the blown out white spots on the pool detract from the waterfall. If you have a bright portable light, I wonder if you could use it to illuminate the falls and reduce your exposure, so the existing lighting on the pool isn't as distracting.
