Falling Water Creek
I've been digging around my files from last fall and found this one from Falling Water Creek that I thought might be worth another look. I visited this spot several times in the morning before I was able to get a good reflection. Thanks for any suggestions for improvement.

D2x
25-50mm
f/15 for 2 sec.

A beautiful spot Bill ... dressed in fine fall foliage. The only thing that I see is that the reflection is somewhat flat.

I'm not sure what the ultimate resutl would be but by creating a layer for the reflection only and setting it to "multiply", then playing with the opacity slider you may be able to boost the intensity of the reflection. What do you think?

Great shot Bill, I really like the reflection you got on this one. Was the the spot you were checking out on our first trip when I happenen on you on the road?

Thanks, guys. Wayne - I thought the reflection looked flat too, and tried a layer with a multiply blending mode, but haven't brushed it in yet. I think it will look much better, and will repost the image when I'm done. Thanks for the tip! Tom - this spot is a little further upstream, maybe a half mile or so.

This is a great shot, Bill. I can't wait to see the "improved" version.
