I captured this lovely greek while I was hiking in the Columbia River George. It was raining heavily so I had to take more than one shot and selectively choses parts from each image to incorporate to the final image.

I like the feel of this image. It feels wet and that comes through. Great image.

There is a nice mystical quality to this image that I really like. The rainy atmosphere creates a soft texture to the lush forest that is very inviting. The water seems a little bright for the atmosphere though, but I still am enjoying the image very much.

I like the flow of the image, though the lower portion has a bit of very bright water with not a whole lot of detail. Maybe you have an exposure with a slightly faster shutter speed to incorporate into this section. Otherwise, a very nice take on the gorge.

Abdullah,

This is a very nice dreamy look to it as if some type of Orton/glow effect was used, but you didn't mention so I'm assuming a fairly straight shot. I like the composition and the flow of the water through the scene. My only wish is for more detail and texture in the water itself. Getting flowing water just right is a tough one and often times 2 seconds is too long, causing the water to lose detail. But perhaps just burning down the brighter parts of the stream would help some. Otherwise, a very nice capture from the Gorge.
