| Jerry Appel | Great composition and technically super creative. Really captures the scope, size, power and motion of the falls. Thanks for discussing your technique. |
| Bill Buchanan | This is a great shot of the waterfall and the people are the pimento in the olive. They not only add a dimension of scale to the image but also serve as a base to anchor our attention. The black and white image is very nice and was a good decision. I recently saw a show by outdoor photographer Lewis Kemper on Iceland and it has to be a remarkable place to visit. |
| Joe Hearst | I was taken to Gullfoss on a Elderhostel trip and was only allowed 25 minutes (that's why I have never taken another Elderhostel trip.) So I was never able to get a chance to take it from this wonderful angle. The exposure time is superb and the two tourists complete a spectacular image. |
| Guy Davies | This is a seriously large waterfall. The presence of the two people at the extreme left is essential to give the scale. It is often difficult to chose the right shutter speed for moving water, but here you have got it just about right. The composition works well too with the water flowing from top left to bottom right and there is just enough detail in the upper right hand corner to complete the picture without being distracting. You were fortunate indeed that those two tourists didn’t move! |
| Karen Kotner | This is a beautiful composition with the diagonal line of the flowing waterfall. Shutter speed and polarizer that you used produced smooth silky water. The two people certainly give a scale to the waterfall but theyare almost too small to tell what they are. |
| Erik Rosengren | Having people in the image shows perspective. The work you created with the filters, correct f stop and the 15 sec. exposure has provided a stunning image with good definition and detail in the water throughout your rendering. The river provides a good leading line into the background. Keep up the good work. |

I was appointed Region 27 Director for Eastern Europe. From now on I will serve the PSA membership region by directing the membership retention and acquisition efforts of the region. I am interested in the PSA Distinctions: PPSA, EPSA, MPSA, and GMPSA and I will help all who already enjoy entering PSA-recognized International Exhibitions to now become a PSA member, earn PSA Star Ratings, and earn PSA Distinctions to recognize their photographic achievements. I will encourage all photographers to take part in PSA Exhibitions because this is a real way to evaluate their own work. Some Polish photographers started to take part in PSA/FIAP exhibitions and they realized that there are many clubs in the world taking part. They also realized the benefits of this. Some exhibitions are available only for club members so we have decided to gather people who have already taken part in contests for club members. We publish our accepted or awarded photos in PSA Exhibitions on our website and I would like to invite you to visit and familiarize yourself with the Fotoferia Club and see the best pictures in the High Gallery. www.club.fotoferia.pl Don’t hesitate to ask me if you need more information. I am looking forward to seeing your works. |
