This is a pretty picture. I wonder what the message was though. the crop is pointing me to a waterfall but it is not cropped tight enough to eliminate distracting background elements. the shutter speed is high enough that the motion of the water is frozen, but not high enough to get a really big aperture that would impart shallow depth of field that could actually serve to frame a particular point of interest. Since digital cameras have small image sensors and short focal length lenses, trying to limit depth of filed is often a challenge. given this tendancy it directs your compositonal habits a bit to assure that the framing directs the viewer's attention or their path through the image. since almost all of the image will be sharp anyway, either concentrate on that sharpness and try to get extreme depth of field, or use other visual queues to control the mood. this image would have been very different with a tight aperture, lowered iso sensitivity of the sensor, and a 1/4th second exposure. the water would have blured enough to impart motion and that longer exposure would have depended on a tripod and a very tight aperture, adding to both the DOF and overall sharpness.
