Hello everyone. My name is Scott Smorra and I'm new to NPN. This is my first photo post in the regional forum. Any critique of this photo is appreciated.
I was out in the Columbia River Gorge to check out the ice last week. Here is a shot of Lower Latourell Falls. I was amazed by the huge pile of ice (~20 feet tall) at the base of the falls.
2 sec at f/16, ISO 100, Nikon D80, 12-24mm Nikkor f/4, polarizer.

A very interesting phenomena. Is there a name for something like this? I I'm thinking it's similar to how a volcano forms; only in reverse, and possibly a bit more chilly.
Yes, I remember how Latourelle has such a healthy spray in the splash pool. That's quite an ice hill; I hope it doesn't melt all at once. Yikes. Nice shot. And welcome to PNWNP.

Welcome Scott! Great post. I especially like the depth you captured with the icy stream in the foreground leading the eye to the falls.
Keep 'em comin!

Scott,
Welcome to the forum. Very nice first post! Hard to find a nit except for the ice mound. It's pretty bright and tends to draw my attention away from the rest of the image.
