Looks like a great place. I love the lower part of the shot with the dynamic water and the mossy rocks. Not to sure about the upper part. I get a bit lost in there - maybe because of the compression of the web version.

Nice muted feeling, I like the mossy rocks dotting the creek

Daniel, I enjoy the way the chaos in the distance is counteracted by the repetitive pattern of the rocks in the foreground. Fine natural colors and just the right choice of shutter speed to capture the flow of the creek in my opinion.

This appeals more to me than I initially thought. I like the "grey" atmosphere. Very good work.

Classic stream shot. Love the vibrant greens and yellows that we get here in the Pacific Northwest this time of year.

An apppropriate image for the approaching St. Patrick's Day. Love the range of greens here. Exposure just right to capture the scene, particularly the water. Well seen and composed.

Really nice light and very natural color. Good comp and detail. A wall hanger to appreciate to the fullest no doubt.

I like this image. The question that comes to mind though, is where are the real trees? These all appear to be just saplings. Any ideas?

Rob: I don't doubt that this whole area has been logged, but the vine maple and alder streamside forest is often of this appearance due to repeated landslides and flash flooding (I think)

It is nice Daniel. A little less compelling than I am used to from your work but you really are becoming the Gorge guy these days! Maybe we can shoot one of these times. I live close to here now.
