You mean there is a place in the coutry that is not buried in snow. Wow! Great colors, really like the effect of the exposure on the water.

Reminds me of a stream local to me, but this is just gorgeous. Wonderful shot Scott. :smile:

It's an interesting composition you have made here Scott. I like the transition from dark to bright. The water if effectively captured and serves the composition very well.

A beautiful cascade surrounded by the lush greens of the forest. This is nicely done, Scott.

I love those lush greens. It's even more appealing after having been buried in white snow for weeks now.

Nicely composed scene.
Having never been to this area, each and every time I see the green coated earth, it's still amazing too see in each photo.

This is great, Scott. It definitely has that gorge feel to it. Gotta love the intense green of the moss in winter.

Thank you to everyone for the kind comments. I'm glad to see you are all enjoying the greens here, especially those of you buried in snow! The moss along this creek is amazing and is some of the best I've seen in the gorge area.

Really nice Scott. It is nice to see the green. I really like that green/yellow color of the moss. Water looks great too.

very nice composition - steps are great. i think a little sharpening-for-web would enhance our pleasure.

Really nice composition. I like the "star" effect of the lower part of the flowing water.

Well seen!

The soft light gently lighting the mosses is wonderful; nice work!

Foreground of splaying water makes for a dramatic foreground. I like the intimacy of this with no sky or harsh light.

Beautiful work, Scott. Great comp. I love the way the water is fanning out towards the camera. Nice light and mood.

What a nice set of falls! I love this comp Scott. It's so hard to find a view that avoids clutter; where all the little pieces contribute rather than distract. The water is perfect here too. :toast:
