Mt Hood Waterfall

Nice composition. The flow of water takes you right through the image. There is good contrast between the water, rock and greenery. 

Beautiful work, Sandy. The rich greens are great and the ss for the water is right near perfect. My favorite part of the water is the bottom section of rocks due to the variety there.

There has been a considerable amount of discussion about the loss of saturation on NPN posts and I really had a hard time seeing it, but here it's incredibly obvious. The 720px image in the comment section looks much paler than the 720px image that pops up when you click on it. Since this is the same image it should give NPN a clue on where to look for the problem. One rendition is lime green and the other is cyan green.

Sandy,

I'm really enjoying this lovely cascade; the PNW greens and clean whites are wonderful.  I'm a sucker for the longer exposure anyway.

Just one comment and a suggestion.  The comment is that at least to me, the larger view is suffering from some data loss/compression. It's always hard to tell at these web sizes (not being able to see the before resize/sharpening image.)  But to me it looks like the quality isn't as good; it's mostly in the mosses on the rocks. I get there are some larger leaves and ferns that were probably moving in the breeze, but even still I'm just seeing a loss in quality.  The good news, that's just being picky because it's a beautiful image.

The suggestion I have would be a simple crop.  There's a bit of outcropping on the left and is a situation where I want to see more of it, or none at all.  Although not as critical, if shaving off some from the left, I might consider a crop from the top as well. Perhaps as much to exclude the tree/root in the ULC.  It's not a distraction per se, but I don't think necessary.  A slight crop would tighten this up nicely.  Of course, just an opinion/option.
