Nicely done

Really nice effect - The water looks like water, not mist, or gauze, or gelatine...Good job!

If you read the changed goal, you will find the water doesn't have to be blue. I would work a little more on this one. GL

I understand the goal but if I leave in any other color, other parts of the photo besides the water will not be black and white. Since the water is taking on the color of the trees which is green, then half the photo would be colored, not b&w. Now, if we are allowed to do this other than just desaturating all levels except a particular color, for example with masks and erasing only parts of layers, then I could definitely do that.

The water in the middle has no color at all, green, blue, or otherwise. Since you choose the photo you take, you need to keep the background in consideration, since this looks half-baked at best, with a bit of blue at the top, nothing in the middle, and a lot of blue at the bottom. If the way it looked on the ground is what "talked " to you, then crop off the distracting and desaturated top and focus on the water on the ground.

Hey I've been here!

While I do believe it would have been better if the fall itself could have retained color I understand why it is not. Calling it "half baked at best" is wrong and just plain rude. It may help to crop out the top to below the rock, but I still think this is a nice image.

I thought about cropping it but didn't know if anyone would flag it saying that it wasn't a waterfall, so I didn't.

I agree with locksmagic as well. When I first saw the photo, I was really intrigued by the colouring because it wasn't even. When water get thin, it becomes clear, so you can't really expect ALL of the water to have colour.

It's a unique image that you have to look at twice to locate the water source. Thin amounts of water shed little color so for me, i like it.

You better read all the description.

It's nice capture. Probably, by using slower shutter speed to create smoother water flow as well as wider angle lens or moving backward a bit more could take the whole waterfall shape

I really didn't understand the description--a) not all water is blue.... and b) you can't take a photo in B&W mode (as it says) and then make the water fall blue unless you use photoshop techniques

it's basiclly talking about selective coloring which is ok in photo contests at times when specified. Though they did not say it exactly as usual "selective coloring ok" that is what is implied.

wrong photo how can I change it>?

Your image doesn't need to be enormous, anything between 2.5mg and 3.5mg is plenty big enough.
Good luck
