N. Harper Creek Falls

North Harper Creek Falls - north of Linville Falls, NC. Shot early morning before the sun got above the hills 6/3/11.

Canon 5Dii, TS-E 24MM, F18, 1.3 sec, ISO 800, one exposure

There are not a ton of angles to shoot at this falls that don't bring in some unwanted elements. I was going after the pebbles in the foreground to anchor that area. Note: the histogram does NOT show the water as blown out...in case you were wondering.

Wick, the falls look really purple on my screen here. A small color calibration issue perhaps. I really like the simple but effective composition in all aspects.

i know what you mean about finding angles here. It's such a pretty place to see in person but hard to shoot.

I like the greens and the composition here but I agree with Marc about the purple in the water. Otherwise, very lovely.

Looks like you did a great job avoiding those unwanted elements. This is an attractive little waterfall.
