It's a bit of a steep climb into the mountains on the west side of Moraine Lake but worth it. And it certainly lives up to its name. No larches in this shot, though…. :o)

Excellent work on both the water and the rocks.

Julian,

Wonderful, intimate study of the rock and flowing water. The texture throughout, especially in the water is quite nice.

The metallic-like clarity of the upper cascade is wonderful.

The only small nit/suggestion I have would be to pull out some of the cyan in the water. Not off by much though.

Well seen and photographed.

This is quite nice Julian, I really like the cool look and flow of the water, along with the detail and comp. Very appealing.

I like this composition. My only critique is that the rock in the upper left corner dominates the image a little too much IMO. Perhaps burning it down might diminish its impact on the overall composition.

Very nicely composed Julian! The arrangement of the rocks works well and the water adds a lot of extra interest.

Nicely composed scene and your choice of shutter speed works well here. I agree with Lon on the cyan, but otherwise I like this one a lot.
