Upper McCord Creek

Very nice, the sun star adds a lot to make an unusual balance!

Thanks for sharing!    Tom

Very beautiful, Daniel. I like the ss which blurred but retained texture in the water, and the sunstar in the URC is a nice bonus feature. The colors are nice and saturated but personally I would reduce the blue/cyan color of the water cascading over the rocks. Just a personal preference. 

Excellent image. Really nice spot lighting on the falls. Beautiful comp. and processing. Nice work!

The large version is a real treat to look at, so nice! I especially like that golden patch in the water to the right. It's subtle, but so nice. Nice and well balanced sun star too. My only small nit would be that the waterfall looks a bit too greenish. But since there is so much green around it, it might very well have looked like that in real life.

Not nearly so green on my calibrated monitor at home, but way too much blue-green water on my uncalibrated work monitor. 

Very beautiful scene, love that cascading water.  The water does look overly cyan to me, but the green look lush as I'm sure they are in the Gorge.  The shadows don't look overly blue some maybe the water might just need a tweak.  You managed the DR very well.

This is wonderfully composed, and I love the light. I agree that the shaded areas of the water are heavy in cyan. In the small version, the dark area of the stump of the fallen tree seems to lack detail, but looks better large. The tones look great, especially the trees and the water.

Nice lush foliage. The sunstar is a great addition. My small nit is I think I would have moved forward a little and lost the rock in the LLC. No biggie.

Hi  Daniel     To  me, this is the quintesential   creek  scene ..  the lush  colors and beautiful water movement are a delight to behold

Daniel,

This is a gorgeous deep-forest and cascade image.  There's a beautiful glow to the scene, but not overly so.  the dappled light on the waterfalls and the sunstar are especially nice.

I would agree with the others about the cyan in the water.  It's not heavy at all, but enough to notice.

Not a deal breaker, but the bottom mossy rock - I'm wishing there was more, or none; kinda right on the border of does it, or doesn't it contribute to the scene.  A crop though encroaches too much in to the pool, unless you employee some cloning...  but again, not a huge deal.

Overall, I'm really loving this image.

A very evocative rainforest image, Daniel. I agree about the FG rock; prefer having more of it or none of it, but not a deal killer. Did you apply some Orton effect during processing?

Beautiful waterfall scene. Others have mentioned the cyan and my inclination would be to make it neutral.

Yes, I did add a bit of Orton glow to this, but hopefully not too heavily!
