St Nectans Keive

[Dan Cattermole]

In St Nectans Glen is a sacred waterfall.
The history and the knowledge I have about this location is next to none.
More can be found here St Nectan's Kieve - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The prenesce, along with evidence of people who have visited this wonderfull location is very vibrant. People have been coming here centuries leaving messages to loved ones, healing, and many things more than my knowledge stretches.
I'm not a great spiritual believer myself although I'm not going to be narrow minded by saying that nothing exists.
Because the evident presence, emotion, and beauty of the place is strongly overwhelming and clearly understanding why this is such a very frequently visited 'secret' location by thousands a year.

When I got there, it was needless to say hoofing it down. I was extremely lucky to get these shots that I have as not only did I have that to contend with, the waterfall itself was emitting so much mist on my ND filter, that every shot needed a wipe.
The moisture was ridiculous and my camera has never been so dripping wet, but something ......... maybe the spirits, were looking over my Oly and keeping her going

As mentioned... Do excuse the mist

Thanks for looking

I think I prefer the second one of these. For me the scene seems to be more about texture than colour. I don't find the blown highlight at the to distracting, I like the way the 3 highlight areas run down the image. I do think it should be burned in a bit around the rocks though and then it will be really superb.

I agree - No2 is the shot. Looks like a great location!

Unusually for me I think I like third shot best. The soft greens go so well with the soft water and mist and the gentle glow from the highlight. I am certain the shot is straight but there is a slight optical illusion that makes it appear slightly rotated and I be tempted to play with that. Nice though and with the right feel to it.
