My wife Christine and I discovered Christine Falls in Mount Ranier NP on our first trip there in 1998. We got back there again last fall and found it delightfully unchanged. Plan on printing a series of these so will submit a few candidates for your input/comments/suggestions. >=))>

What a delightful spot. Bill. Boy I'm not sure I could suggest anything to improve this. It is wonderful. I guess I could see a crop from the right if pressed really hard. The SS is perfect and this comp just sings with peacefulness . Love it.

Beautiful scene, well composed and developed. Something about this makes it hard to guess the scale.

Very nice shutter speed for the falls Bill and I like the mood here. The large version looks great. Nice job.

This is a really nice looking falls.
I might go a bit brighter?…..

I agree about a bit of a crop off the right side and also raising the brightness just a bit. I like the comp a lot.

btw: I left a comment for the other image of this area in M&N for you.

Very cool looking area. Great image, too. I would also suggest brightening the falls and the highlights in the foliage just a bit.

One of my favorite locations Bill that I visit often. I agree with the crop off the right side but it wouldn't be a huge improvement as it's pretty solid as is. Other than that I don't think it can be improved. A well crafted image that will make a fine print. I have a very similar shot in my gallery.......forgive the shameless plug
