Editing: I used PS CS 2021 to edit the frame, by a desktop computer. I used latest raw filters for editing the image; not cropped the image, minor enhancement of color, shadow, light and details; sky has been changed for enhancement. Please see the original shot.

Sanat, a very good job cropping to the action in this image. I think you nailed the waterfalls water flow! I believe the image is too bitmapped from your processing. I also think that you need more contrast in the image by playing with the Black, Shadow, and Dehaze sliders in LR, then do some dodging and burning to increase the contrasts. IMHO I'd keep the hazy sky. Below is my rendition. Posted: 12/18/2021 10:46:58

Sanat, sorry it's taken so long to post. What a spectacular place! The title tells us a lot, are there falls there at all before the monsoon season? I love what you captured and the post processing. The de-hazing did a credible job. Looks like you increased saturation a bit and that works for me. My suggestions is to darken or crop the far right side a bit so my eye focuses more on the falls. Thanks for sharing this one! Posted: 12/28/2021 12:43:51

Hi Sanat. Thanks for sharing a stunning picture. You always show many places that I have not seen. I agreed with Trey's comment of your bitmapping. There is a good job to dehaze this image however the further background should be dehazed lighter to leave the natural thickness of fog. About cropping, for my own view I would think this image could be square format by cropping the right side. Thanks and wish you have nice holidays, new coming year. Posted: 12/28/2021 13:25:21
Hi Sanat
A very impressive photo of a natural wonder. You captured the scene in a very adequate way in your composition and skillfully edited the scene to highlight the surrounding green areas while still maintaining the dynamics of the falls and mist which adds to the allure of the scene. The only aspect I might consider would be to remove the bushes in the foreground to further enhance the dynamics of the water falls Posted: 12/29/2021 16:22:10
