Well, here's another photo from my wet weather trip the other day. This image was underexposed, so it needed a lot of "pulling" through PS.
The actual chasm is only about fifty feet wide, so it's not that large of a place. When the water is normal, you can hop across the creek.
There was a report in the paper today that a woman was free climbing on the rocks and slipped. The EMTs required two hours to get her out of here, even though the chasm is about thirty feet deep...

Tim, The pan effect on a vertical comp is a good idea here. Imagine a slot canyon in Wisconsin!!. Nice shot.

The wide aspect ratio gives an intriguing sense of place on this one. I believe there's some more color correction and printing work that could be done here (color neg film is tough in my experience)...though it may be difficult if you're running into grain issues due to underexposure. I'd also probably crop out the tree on the far right that's cutting through the lower corner. All in all, you have the makings of a pleasing image here. A bit more fine tuning and I think it will really sing!
