Fantastic rim lighting on the mossy rock and branch Danny! The tight perspective worked great for this scene too!

You have framed this perfectly. I would be tempted to darken the exposure down 1/3 stop for contrast.

Really gorgeous, Danny. How do you like the 17-40 on your XTi?

Justin,
Love my 17-40, rarely comes off my camera, I consider it my normal lens.

Danny, I enjoy following the flow of the fall, with the wonderful framing by the mossy rocks and branches! Very appealing exposure and processing.

Haven't done much similar subjects in the past Danny, so I can't really critique it. Composition-wise I believe it is excellent. Those branches hanging into the frame are (in my eyes) very attracting and are adding to the scene. Beautiful place and you did manage to capture it beautifully!

Lovely scene, the tight crop works well here. I would agree with Matt about darkening by 1/3 stop to add a bit more contrast to the image.

Nice capture and great job with the comp and light. Chaotic, intimate scenes like this always attract me, but I rarely get results like this.

Very nice Gorge image Danny. I really like the composition here with the water cascading down through the frame. I like the suggestion about decreasing the exposure just a bit.
