Oh man, this is a sweet one. Great handling of the light and I really like the composition. Without looking at the techs and based on the appearance of the water I would have guessed a longer exposure. Very nice work.

Well, yes, it is a composite, with the foreground water at iso 50, 1.5sec

Wow, no kidding! That really is a lot of water compared to when I was there in the late summer. I didn't find this location a very easy place to photograph, but my only real complaint with this image is the obvious fringing where the trees meet the sky.

That is sweet Daniel, love the extra water on the walls. I'm on my way down there tomorrow for 8 days, looking forward to seeing it in person!

I really like the light, soft colours, mist, and the sunrays.
Fringing mentioned.

Almost ethereal light here.
A unique composition of this place. The reflected water looks great! I could see perhaps slightly burning down the very brightest tones on the moss covered bench.
You really captured the essence of the PNW here very, very well.

Terrific scene. It looks like a painting with the backlight and the glow of the moss.

This is really nice, Daniel. The sense of enveloping light is wonderful. Nice composition, as well.

Well Done!

Fantastic image. I love the warm light and dramatic settings. It does look just a little bit tilted to me, though.

This is gorgeous! I really like the way you handled the lighting and your choice of composition. The only nit I have is the hdrish look where the trees meet the sky.

This image is overwhelming, Daniel, especially the way the composition leads the attention to the fall as the center of interest. Your handling of the water surface in the foreground is amazing. Great work!

As others have stated, a wonderful composition, and the smooth water glow is icing on the cake.

Very enchanting presentation Daniel. The light, water, colour, its softness gives me a very tranquil feeling. Amazing, impressive work!

This is amazing! Composition, light, sunrays. It's awesome. The HDRish look where the trees meet the sky is a pretty significant issue to me, though. I think the sky could stand to be quite a bit brighter to maintain a natural look.

Very nice Daniel! That's the most water I have seen coming off the sidewalls like that. One of the best from here for sure...

Excellent image Daniel. This appears very painterly. I love the beams and mist, they add so much to the image. Excellent processing.

Magnificent Daniel, one of my favorites that I've seen of yours. Great light you captured here. I especially like the mist and watery curtains on the right.
