You gotta love those lush greens. This image has great depth to it, Daniel. Perfect choice on the SS.

Your firmly centered composition works very well for me, Daniel. I enjoy exploring all the wonderful details of the greens at both sides, while the cascades lead me into the depth and always keep me within the frame.

Daniel, I'm enjoying this view very much...nice comp! Your shutter speed worked great capturing the motion of the water just right imo. The greens are wonderful as is the mood! Very nice work! :smile:

Daniel,

How hard is it to go wrong in the Columbia River Gorge? :rolleyes: :biggrin: Beautiful, just beautiful. I'm loving the square comp here too; I some times don't care for the very long 35mm format in the vertical. This works perfectly. Excellent job with all the processing, colors, saturation, everything. Top notch. No nits or suggestions - I could look at this for a while.

Lovely. The vertical drop of falls and foreground ripples make this a great comp. The lighter portions of moss...and brighter background creates depth...super job processing. A joy to see the details in the large version.

Really like the way the water connects foreground to background and the interesting colors and textures along the way.
