Turtle Falls

Gallery: LandscapePosted June 4, 2011155 views8 comments

This waterfall was one of many created by the unusually high volume of rainfall we got here in April. Even during the wet season this one is normally only a trickle; it is likely a 'once in a lifetime' shot. It is located in a remote and rarely explored portion of the Shawnee National Forest.

I guess this explains why I can't remember ever seeing a photo of this before. The waterfall is very pretty in this image. I like being able to see through the falls. Congrats on your timing in getting this.

I like the veil of transparent water Taylor. Beautiful falls sprinkled with delicate greens.

A very fine shot of a beautiful waterfall. Well framed and exposed. Excellent work.

Love the scene here. Very nicely done. Good detail, good color, perfect shutter speed.

I wonder how a close up composition of the small falls would look with the image angled toward the larger falls on the left hand side of the frame.

This almost feels fountain-like with the two cascades. My only thought might be to crop some off the bottom.
