Description
Another shot from the secret falls. After having a conversation with =Alex37 I've decided to give this a warmer saturation which creates a more magical atmosphere, a lot like it was with my own eyes when I was taking this shot. This place has so much potential, I have one shot in particular that I'm yet to capture. I'm just waiting for the perfect conditions, early morning mist and sunlight coming in through the trees, hopefully I can get some sun rays.*re-edit* Gave the golds some more punch, increased saturation and contrast slightly. Also corrected white balance in the water and gave it a slight cyan cast to suit the mystical atmosphere.
I have this printed 12 x 18 in the Bellingen photography/art competition. For sale $350 - if interested note me.

Yeah canon. Why does that come as a surprise?

No, it's in no way surprising. I was just playing off the whole Nikon/Cannon debate. Keep on raging with that Cannon thou :]

Seriously, this is amazing. Magical doesn't quite cover it but it's the best I can come up with. I really think you made the right choice with the warm saturation, well done yet again!

Phenomenal! I really love the lighting in the background, absolutely amazing. The warmth of the shot is really great. I'm not sure what the previous version looked like, but this one is superb.

You probably wouldn't be able to notice any difference even if you did see the original. Just minor tweaks with saturation basically

Lighting is fantastic, great processing, it does give it a magical quality.
