....... is a small river nearby. I have photographed it a few times, but this is the first time with a Pentax (or any other) SLR.

I have included 2 images, but with 2 different post processing of each image, so 4 in total. I haven't put any photos in Your Photos previously, but I would really appreciate your thoughts on the 2 images, and each of the different attempts at post processing for each. Which do you prefer (if any) and how do the pps compare?

Thank you in advance.

Its a shame they are not all the same crop ratio. that way you could compare the complete shots and pp against each other.

This is only my take on it, others may disagree.

I think I like 2b... there's something nice about the graphic qualities of the striped reflections in the water at the top of the weir, and in the waterfall itself. A further crop from the right, to remove the foaming water, and it's a striking graphic shot with contrasting angles. Well spotted, this is a shot I probably would have overlooked.

2b for me as well - it's got the potential described by Will.

Sorry about the different crops.

Don't you like the foaming water in 2b?

Personally I love #3 best. #4 works too.
