Hello There, RMNP!
Haven't posted much in the last couple years but I'm hoping to change that soon. Been working very hard on getting control of my image collection (just deleted 8000 substandard photos!) and get my website built.
Here is a photo I took in 2007 in the San Juans. This is near the northern end of Old Lime Creek Road and I'm pretty sure this is Coal Creek. Just wondering if this little waterfall has a name? It can be seen from Old Lime Creek Road.
Can I just name it "Gorgeous"??? Love the green and the details in the FG rocks! Nicely done!

I don't know the name, but it just made my bucket list!
Beautiful photo that should hang on a wall!

I like the vertical better, though the rocks come through well on the horizontal. Beautiful image.

I thought Pacific Northwest when I first opened these. Beautiful images, Phillip.

Beautiful color. It almost looks like HDR, but I think that the over-saturated colors really make these photos pop! Great job!

Yeah, you are another one who comments here from time to time and doesn't kick in with images. You have been depriving us of your talent Beautiful clean, crisp images! I really like the luminosity in both of them and the color. Man, am I enjoying this forum tonight!

No Name?? Hmmm.
Thanks for the comments. These are both single shots--no blending or HDR here. Dynamic range was tough. The rocks were so dark and the lichens and water so bright it was not possible preserve details at either end. Came close though. Close enough? (Good enough for Gov't work!)
Morris--be careful what you wish for!

Really like how the foreground leads the eye back to the lush greenery and falls! Super shot!

Both are outstanding, but I like the vertical one the best. Diggin' the color.

Nice! Yellow/green sat is maybe a hair too much, but i love the comps, especially #2.
