you have a to post more pics... thx for your kind comment.. and yes.. romantic heart for a flower that says it all.... indeed... i liked your comment so much ... i renamed my image to 'pink heart'... its funny what I saw wasn't so obvious until you pointed it out to me ... implicit knowledge is often never communicated ... it is just felt or seen....through the eyes of the beholder... and sometimes they don't even know it... missing information is what runs the world... not all the stuff we 'think' we know... kind regards.

Paulette,
You gave me a very generous comment on a Monarch Macro I posted, so now I here viewing your portfolio. You have a good eye and I am sure you will master what ever subject matter you decide to capture. I have a 28mm that I use for macro as well as the 70-300mm. I like the 70-300mm Macro for the bokeh it gives to my images. Good Luck and Thank You for commenting., Sincerely, Ceceilia

Lars -
Thanks so much for the comments! I was actually in the middle of the little creek on top of one of the rocks I could actually get to, and so I didn't venture down in front of that rock to get it out of my way (I'd already fallen in once =P) so aside from zooming, it was stuck there, but that's definitely something to think about in the future.
- Paulette

Paulette,
For being fairly new to photography you take some very nice photos!!
I second the comments that Eric provided you with regards to aperture.
Another thing you might want to consider is how and what you want to show with the waterfall? For example, if it is possible; look for a position to shoot from whereby you don't have the big rocks in the bottom of the photos. It is a matter of framing the shot for what you want to show. If the waterfall is the main subject of the shot, then try to get in more on the waterfall and make it the focal point without the rocks in the bottom of the view. Really though, it comes down to what you prefer :)
Still, i think it is a wonderful shot and as mentioned, very nice for a begginer!!
Thanks for sharing.

Thanks! I had intended to use a tripod, actually, but got to the destination and realized I had forgotten it =)
I really did have trouble with the aperture setting - I knew I wanted to keep the shutter open longer, but I'm terrible at the time being at figuring out the balance between shutter speed and aperture.
Thanks for the advice though, I plan on returning to the same area later and trying any tips you guys throw at me. =)

Paulette,
Nice composition, but it's a bit soft. For landscape shots like this you really need to use a smaller aperture (f/16 or f/22) to maximize DOF and focus to make sure the foreground rocks are in focus (usually about 1/3 of the way into the area you want in focus). This will most often mean a tripod is needed even with the Minolta's anti shake technology. Looking at the data you gave an exposure at f/16 would have given you a 1 sec exposure, and no image stabilization technology will let you handhold that successfully. That said however, it's a nice start. Welcome to Usefilm.
Eric
