Hello everyone,

After awhile of "lurking" and enjoying all the wonderful images posted I figured its time I contribute with a shot of my own. This particular falls seems to be "Fairy" popular recently, (very punny i know :rolleyes: ) Anyways here's one from Fairy Falls Sunday afternooon. I found these falls are extremely photogenic yet compositions were more difficult than I expected. C&C is of course welcome :toast: !

EDIT: I applied the sharpening techniques as suggested and what an improvement it makes.

This is a before and after side by side panel.

Welcome, Bryan - you should be able to post that image inside your message. I like the composition - very creative for a commonly photographed falls. It would benefit from Marc Adamus' sharpening tips, located here:

I've been using them ever since I found the site a few months ago, with good results. It also looks like you've got a water spot in the upper left corner of this one. Great colors in the creek - nice first post!
