1. get a better lens chromatic abberation hurts my eyes
2. figure out what ur trying to do with the shutter speed, long exposure for water flow or short for droplets and such like
3. try other angles, this has no edge, your eye isnt drawn to anything
4. rule of thirds (if you dont know what this is gtfo of this board, that goes for all you shit photographers on this board)
5. keep looking for the shot, this seems to be a snap shot, not very well thought out, the subject matter could be great but keep looking

WTF?

1. He's shooting with an S3IS (so he can't get another lens) and there is almost no chromatic aberration in the photograph.

2. The water looks fine.

3. The eye is drawn to the pool of water at the bottom.

4. The rule of thirds is a composition tip, not an edict from God, and anyone who lurks /p/ for ten minutes knows what it is.

Furthermore, it does roughly follow the rule. (See attached image.) The left-bottom intersection lines up with a small waterfall, the right-bottom is near a rock detached from the rockface, and the top-right is just above and to the left of the where the we can begin to see the falling water.

I think this is a good photograph, OP. It doesn't make me go, "Oh, my! I wish I took that!" or rouse up some emotion strongly, but I do feel something looking at it... which makes it a good, though certainly not great, photograph, and certainly not a "snapshot."

As far as critique goes, I'd have waited for the light to be more interesting. It seems rather bland on that front.

I agree with all of this, with the caveat that I would have been more scathing in my rant about photographers who follow the Rule of Thirds as if it were the ass of a beautiful naked woman walking down the street. It's just a guideline, not a Commandment.

Suggestions to improve the shot:
1. To see the whole thing, I need to rely on browser scaling, which does a shitty job. Recommend resizing manually before posting.
2. There's not much of a sense of scale in the shot. Don't know if it would have been possible to fix that with this scene, but if there was any way to do so, that would have helped immensely.
3. Like the previous guy said, wait for more interesting lighting.
