I like the comp a lot, Darren - that's a unique view of a pretty heavily photographed spot. Excellent choice to go vertical, and bring in that cliff. Shutter speed and highlights are spot on, too.

Sweet image, Darren.. it looks like the stream has cleared out a bit too..... I think I will be up that way this Saturday... :smile:

Great shot!

I think i'd better get up there soon too, if this place is so new-D-300 friendly!

Very good work with the d300 thus far, darren. I'd like to see this one cropped down closer to the top of the water.

Great shot!!! Love the comp, the color, and the whole thing. Please see my most recent post; you are lucky that your D-300 focuses...

Nicely done Darren, the D300 seems to be dialing in for you!

It's a beauty. I like the sword fern placement in the foreground and the light from above on the wall on the right.

Nice flow to this composition. I see my name (Emerald Falls) has stuck lately. :smile:

The fern in the LC is placed perfectly. Very nice image Darren, can't think of what I would change on this one!

Marc,

Your image was the first I ever saw of this place. Then you were nice enough to show us where it was.....so I think the name you chose works well......and I think you have the rights to it!
