Some falls up north
Whatcom Falls. I fell like there is a monopoly of Gorge falls (not that i'm complaining). I just think that there needs to be some representation from around these parts. It's interesting how i've lived here for 4 years and never got around to shooting these falls. This is actually what i consider my first real attempt at a waterfall. There is a plethora of spots along this river I want to check out here in the next couple months. If anyone knows this area really well, I would love some pointers on where to go; not just Whatcom falls area, but falls in general in Bellingham

Nikon D80
f/22 - 1.3sec

p.s. I Just Graduated!!!

Looks like a good first attempt to me, better keep that up. I do like Jesse's idea, maybe moving to where the top of the bridge is out of the frame and letting the arch stay in to frame the top? I'd also play with a bit more contrast in the midtones.
