Mullayanagiri is the tallest peak in Karnataka standing at around 6400ft. Had been for a short visit to it. Deep in one of the coffee estates at the foothills of this Peak in Chickmanglur, we found this waterfall.

Lovely waterfall. The water flow looks nice. The composition looks good. Thanks for sharing.
Nice place. I am sure you would have many more compositions. Perhaps in the rains, the flow would increase and cover up more of the rocks in the middle. Were you standing on the water edge? Do you have the full set of GND filters? I think one with less strength would have been better as the right side has become darker.
Why not use 17mm?
Hi Sabyasachi,
I did try compositions at 17mm, but given the amount of water, the image didn't appeal much. So I thought of isolating parts of the fall. There is a stage of similar height above the frame I have clicked. I have ones at 40mm as well. Will Share.
This was shot with the ND4, ie the 2Stop filter. I have the Cokin ND4 and ND8 soft transition Graduated ND filters. I'm not sure if a lesser one is available.
The image of the waterfall is so beautiful that it seems to provide a musical effect to the ears.Thanks for sharing.SaktiWild
Shakti Sir,
Thank you for your wonderful words. The scene was indeed like a song, music for the eyes and the soul.
Hi Bibhav
Loved the milky flow of water caused by the slow shutter speed. The shine / glow of the rocks by the moisture looks great. Thanks for sharing.
regards
Rajan
