Peneda-Gerês National Park, Portugal
"The magnificence of the mountain. A moment of magic of the Mountain range, a delight for the Nature photographer. Impossible to describe the emotion of doing this photography. I walked trough a rail in the bed and in the slope of the River, when the first light of the Sun was touching the peak of the mountain on the imposing waterfall. The Autumn colors and rains were essential for the success of the scene."
Photo made in 2008, now with new processing it came out of the chest again. The key was light balance between the rocks shadows and mountain lit up and sky, that were going more than 5 Stop of contrast, being impossible to apply split ND filters and get excellent results. So, I finally blended my files, and I suppose this may be the final version of this image, one of my all time favorite :)
Thanks for all your feedback.

I made a few adjustments based on feedback, I improved contrast a bit, burned some highlights down in the middle, and some minor light retouches around.
Guess it looks better?
Wonderful mountain cascade scene. I thought the original posting was just fine, but the repost looks great too. Excellent composition, filling the frame. This is simply and enjoyable and lovely image.
