Rifle Falls
I made it up to Rifle Falls for the first time today. Wow! The roar of the water is so loud, you can barely hear yourself think.

The light area in the ULC is caused by mist from the falls. I got a good soaking in several places I stood today. It's all good :biggrin:

I decided to crop out the sky entirely since it wasn't adding anything.

Definitely plan to go back, and in different seasons.

Looks like a wonderful scene Angela. I like the three separate falls on the comp. I do wish for a tad more room at the top, but still a very beautiful scene!

Sweet shot! It has a mystical feel to it.

Great image must have been something to be standing there and experiencing the sights and sounds.

I really like this one and I've been to the falls hundreds of times. Lived just a few minutes away for many years.

The falls are a MUST in the winter.

Very nice. Like the sense of motion in the falls.

Excellent shot, Angela! I'd consider pumping up the contrast and color just a bit, but even if you ignore my suggestion, this is killer.

Beautiful image Angela. I like this as well as any I've seen of these falls!

Killer shot Angela. I have yet to visit the falls and you have inspired me to get there. Wonderful image.

Great shot. I've always wanted to make it up there.

Great light! I can almost feel the mist looking at this one.
