first, a note to the guy who said that it was a good job for a first tutorial, i dunno if its his first (my! 214 posts ya know), suspect... but it is a really nice tut... maybe ill try to add some elements of it to my waterfall or sth like that, see first.... if i do ill credit u, anyway, if you allow :D

By the way, one tip, try using color balance to make it a little brighter, though i muz say, the top part where it is very dark, it really gives a feeling that it is falling. Nice tut again :D :lol:
