My version of Zapata Falls

This image of Zapata Falls was made on March 16th. It appears that since then much of the falls has melted. I moved to the right and eliminated much of the brighter areas of the scene making an HDR unnecessary. I did darken and lighten with PS CS3 in a few places.

There looks to be a lot of posterization in your image here, Rod.

The posterization really only is affecting the rocks, thats where Todd's hdr seems to have helped. The times ive shot Zapata ive used a 3 image blend (one for the bg, 2 for the fg) but wihtout the bright spot in back two would probably suffice. The ice might be slightly posterized, but i like the affect, gives it a smooth silky look, i like the color too. Its interesting seeing the different takes on the falls.

Zapata is a challenging subject for sure. I attempted this a few years ago when I first went to the digital side and did not have the PS skills I do now (still learning). I hope to get there again before the Ice melts. I will do what Stan suggests with mabe three images blended. Still nice efforts for both you and Todd Ken.
