Took this yesterday on my way back to Seattle. I did this with HDR again and it really helped here. Waterfalls are generally tough because of the intensity of the white in the water and if there are shadows around it's generally a lost cause but this came out pretty well I thought - way better than I could have done without HDR.

Wow, just amazing. This is a big treat here you created! The water effect is superb! So much detail! You really hit the jackpot on this one, the colors are amazing and so are the shadows. Can't say enough good things and can't say any bad.

The colors are crazy. The water is the most beautiful part. The falls are great too but the water is just amazing. The growth around it looks a little unnatural but gosh, what a great shot.

Thanks, super_stein. I think that the HDR images do almost look "hyper-real" sometimes and therefore, "almost fake". That is kind of their curse and their blessing at the same time. It seems to me that making a good balance is key to these things.

Hey Darrel, a long overdue welcome to Caedes. I'd have said so sooner but have been away. A beautiful shot, my friend. Well composed, lovely rich color sat, perfect highlights and tones. First rate shooting. anne :-)

Don't tell me it's good, tell me what is good about it. Don't tell me it stinks, tell me what I can do do improve it. Thank you for taking the time to tell me anything at all. Be blessed. anne :-)

Awesome example of the power of HDR....I usually purposefully avoid "moving" subjects when shooting for HDR, but this makes me question why the heck I never played with it more under similar circumstances...

Thanks for giving me a new way to look at this digital tool! Great shot(s) :-D

I often dream about things that don't exist. And in those dreams, I'm often taking photographs that I plan to put on Caedes... and when I wake up... I'm disappointed because it wasn't real.
