I scrapped the Oneonta Falls image I just posted. It didn't really work for me. This is a re-do I've been wanting to capture since I got the D2X... This area is my favorite in the gorge and I plan to hit this again in the next two weeks.

And just to my right, on the other side of that bolder is where I shot this. Of course, I played with the warmth a little :rolleyes:

Hi Rick - I'm not sure that second shot you posted does anything for me but the first one is great! The greens in that scene are wonderful and you've captured the water with just the right time exposure and didn't blow any whites out. I keep thinking when looking at it that perhaps a little more mossy rocks on the left would make it perfect but it's not absolutely necessary - great as is...

Rick, Really like the creek shot. I'm a dark preference person so would like the BG trees a little darker. As for the second photo, i'm not sure I could have got the first one with that guy watching me from the depths. :jump:

Hi Rick, your first shot is sweet! I love the composition and the green is very nice.

I've always liked you shot of that stream, Rick. Please drag me along when you go - which may be the weekend after Bend?

I promise I won't tell a soul if you'll tell me where the first image was taken!! Really, I promise!

I do...and we SHALL! And soon...I actually think we need a week of good rain to green things up a little more...and that doesn't sound like this week.

That first one is awesome, man! I might have saturated the greens just a tad, but that's such a personal thing. :)
