Great color Danny, and very nicely balanced. I could look at this for a LONG time.

Very nice! I almost thought the moss/lichen was foliage on the tree to the right of the falls. I have never really seen moss or whatever that is in that particular color before. I do recognize it from other images from here though. Not sure what contributes the yellowish color here. Deep emerald green is what I expect to see around waterfalls in the gorge.

Danny,

This is wonderfull! I think perhaps your best that I remember seeing posted here. Not too often that a small piece of a waterfall is so successfully incorporated in to the surrounding elements. The colors are excellent and I think this has intrigue in trying to figure out where the tree ends and where the rock and lichen begins.

I think this is super.

Spectacular lichen bloom. Those yellows and touch of orange really catch the eye.

Lovely and very simple. Great colors. The splotch of color to the left
of the waterfalls adds a nice touch. Well composed.

Wonderful Danny, this is excellent. I love the abstract feel, and the colors make it come alive (some kind of algae/lichen I would guess). The hidden tree adds a great subtle element to add that little extra to the image.

Nice unique view of Elowah. You really captured the yellow lichen (I think that's what it is) well.

Beautiful photo Danny. I really like the composition and the color of the lichens on the rocks. Isn't this Latourell Falls though?

This is beautiful. Whatever causes the yellow, it certainly makes for a nice image. Very well done.

This is beautiful and unique. I thought that moss was leaves on the trees at first as well.
