This was a beautiful diversion on the path to Watson Falls in the Crater Lake Area.

Very nice composition. The water seems a little hot where the larger section of the falls hits "bottom" but that's a minor point.

Great comp and processing.

Yep, well seen and captured. Nothing much I can add.

Thanks all,
This is my 2nd faborite of the whole trip. I'm still playing with the RAW processing on this one. It seems a little over sharpened here, but I have an 8x10 print at home that looks right.
I'll have to return here in the fall to get a different color scene.

Beautiful tones, and great clarity make this shot for me.

Great exposure!

Really nice... getting that foreground so sharp in a falls area has been challenging for me. You got it right on!

What a fabulous comp. Love it when you can get multiple cascades like that.

Exposure, comp and processing are right on. This image is worthy of a big print and frame. Nice first post!
