While shooting with Darren a while back he was working a front shot of these falls while I settled for a tight side-comp a bit further inside the grotto it formed...and veiled by the torrent. Yep... it looked like a mess on the lcd too!

wow, this is different. I think it does have a lot going on...almost confusing. It could be a little sharper too.
maybe i can get darren to post his shot to put this into perspective! how about it bro... post that killer shot of Frozen Falls!

Yep - it's pretty chaotic in there. Plenty of interesting elements, but they're not working together in this comp; I find myself wanting to take a few steps back from this spot to gain some context.
It could look washed out Erik since my shooting location was LLC of this small crop of Darrens shot and I was well out of his frame. His full image at this resoloution is 720-long side (horizontal) and you can see the flat rock catching the water and ice formation nearly 7 feet behind so the zoom necessary to get this comp had to compress a lot of falling water. This was one of those "let's see what ya can get from here" shots but I was impressed at the level of detail that got through the veil.
