"The artist is also a born adventurer. His explorations, unlike those of the tourist, are rewarded by the discovery of beauty spots unmentioned in the guide books, and with tireless curiosity and an exceptional proneness to wonderment, he will come upon objects of remarkable interest overlooked or even shunned by more disciplined observers."

2nd State

After a bit more plate work, I took another couple impressions of the waterfall print to check progress.The sky still isn't light enough and parts of the cascade of water down the fall need to be worked on especially on the lower levels. The cliff face on the right is still a bit too uniform in tone and needs to be highlighted more in the sunlight areas to bring it to life. However I am happy with the river below the fall which I want to remain relatively dark. The foreground rocks need to be better defined though.
