This is patterned after the classic (and never surpassed, IMO) Ron Cronin photo of Wahclella Falls that was widely available as a poster. I always admired the "falls in the rainforest" look that focused on the broad backdrop of forest texture, first... comments and suggestions welcome!

BTW, I found a Canon eye cup along the trail, immediately across from Loowit. If it's yours, let me know and I'll stick it in the mail.

Olmpus E-510, 11-22mm at 22, f20, 1/2 second, polarizer

I like these shots from a distance, i like the surroundings with the falls. Nice job of comp.

The up-close waterfall photos with the lens practically in the water are real eye-catchers, but I really like this kind of pulled back view, too. Can't see anything that you could have done to improve this one. Very, very nice.

Wow Tom,

This is spectacular! :biggrin: I love the composition and agree with Greg on this one. It looks very majestic with the thick green forest surrounding the falls in this way.
