Boulder Falls
Hiked the Boulder River Trail in mid July. Beautiful steep valley with lush, old growth forest and easy access.

Boulder Falls splits like a wishbone into 2 seperate cascades about halfway down the cliff face. This is the right cascade.

Nice Joe. Perfect speed and luminosity on the water IMO. I might have brightened the mid-tones and shadows just a little. Also like the slightly diagonal composition. The colors are spots on. :toast:

Thanks Bruce. I kind of liked a little darker presentation, but here is one with the shadows and midtones opened up some.

Great image, Joe. I think Bruce's idea about the midtones is good; the repost is better, but even a tad more brightening wouldn't hurt… Great look to the water flow in the cascade!

Very nice! The original looks pretty good to me.
