Stack Rock Homestead Falls
My plan on the morning of May 8 was to hike directly to Punchbowl, but I could not resist the roar of this waterfall as I headed down the Ozark Highlands Trail.

Thanks for commenting.

Cool shot John, I like the upward prospective of this. I think you exposed the falls very well. Nice job.

John, I really like how you composed this shot. The post processing looks spot on! Good work on this one.

John, a splendid capture. The perspective you have captured is really nice.

John a really beautiful little waterfall. Good job in composing it with the forground trees adding details.

Great shot, John, and I'm glad you took a few minutes to detour.

Nice perspective, John. I'm not sure the composition needs to include all of the rock on the left, but overall a really good image.

Really nice, John. I like the angle looking up from below. How was Punchbowl looking?

Bill, the area received 1.5 to 2 inches of rain, and Punchbowl Falls was at full tilt... actually I would have preferred less water. The punchbowl was more like a bowl of pea soup!

Very nice John! Great detail.I'd try a vertical to accomplish the left crop. I like it as is though. Thanks for sharing.

Good idea, Glenn. I hadn't considered that extreme of a crop, but I just now played around with it and a vertical crop works well. Thanks!
