Not so hidden gem
I thought the waterfall Mike posted earlier today might be this one, it's not but there are some similarities.
Anyway this one can be seen from Mowich Lake Rd in Mt Rainier NP. From the parking lot drive down 2 miles and it's on the left tucked back in the trees. Not large only about 12 feet high. An uninspired composition, taken a few weeks ago.

Uninspired comp? Your angle of view makes a 12 ft falls look pretty darn good! Love the color, the natural glare on the rocks at the top of the falls– it's refreshing. Thanks also for giving us an idea where this is. Much appreciated, if I'm up that way. :smile:

I like the straight on, in your face comp here, Bruce. It really gives a perspective of looking up. I think it could use a boost of contrast, but other than that, I think it rocks.

Cool shot Bruce. I like that little ribbon waterfall on the right hand side. I agree with David that this one could use some contrast. Also selectively brightening the water to make it appear more white (instead of grey) should really make this one great.
