Lovely shot Lois. Great use of vignetting so that the eye runs to the top waterfall and then follows it as it flows down amongst the frosty trees finally exiting the picture.

Thanks Pierre.  This image (a very tight canyon) was a bit of a challenge given the wide range of values (from the darkest of shadows to the water with all its reflected light).  The vignetting in this case, helped me isolate the important elements.
