Manawaipuna Falls is a 360 foot high waterfall in Kauai. This is the famous waterfall that was in the opening sequences of the film "Jurrassic Park". It is accessible only by helicopter and the operators of the choppers are willing to dive in to get close. Due to the many chopper accidents in Hawaii in recent years we did not take the ride. This image was shot from a viewing platform quite a distance away, but I did like the waterfall juxtaposed against the lush green and the red mountains of Waimea canyon. All comments and critiques appreciated.

Now I am going to have to watch the beginning of Jurassic Park to see that. It should be unmistakeable! Beautiful shot of those cliffs, Kathy. The waterfall is just a trickle, but awesome just the same!

"All comments and critiques appreciated."

Comment #1) Post more landscapes and less flowers.
Comment #2) I agree with you completely about the color contrast between the luscious greens and those red cliffs.
Comment #3) The painted look makes this image even more dramatic.
Comment #4) Faved and what a beauty.

I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other.

Good textures in the scene and a lovely view of the canyon and waterfall. It could really use some sharpness in the focus to better define the details and layers in the scene.
