beautiful scene. the water looks great. I'm always partial to water so I'd say I wish the rushing water was more prominent in the foreground than the rocks.

Preston,
This is nice. Exposed real well and I too wish for more water in teh FG.
This one really brings back the best of being out there, Preston.
I find the balance between the BG foliage, the MG water, the finely detailed FG boulder, and then the slice of water in the LLC to be and excellent flow throughout the entire scene. Excellent natural colors too.

Preston,
It's amazing how three different photogs can come away with three different views on this beautiful cascade. I would say four, but haven't seen one from Paul.
I really like the graphic nature of the rocks and cascading water. An nice combination as well with the rocks/cascades monochromatic colors topped off with the wonderful autumn colors.
Now I know this isn't a problem in the transparency, but it looks to me that the fall foliage is oversharpened or a very low jpg compression. The fall leaves are pretty pixilated; especially the dogwood and yellow leaves in the urc. But that's just a web thing.
Beautiful take on this scene. I'm sure I'll be back to work this area again next year. Can't wait!

Very pretty scene.
Is that Tachihara camera one of the wooden boxy things that Ansel Adams used? Is it an antique?
