SFSP with 2 reposts (sorta cheating)

Well, I did the trek around Silver Falls, and man is the river raging and man o man are the greens green. This is North Falls, and just the left side of it. I know part of it is blown out...I'll fix it later...I just wanted to throw up a post of this place today. I'd actually say that the water is too raging. I'd wait another month to head in there and do the whole trek...still, there are a few images to be had from there now, but a waste of time for the whole loop.

Rick,
It sure does look green. From the looks of how mist there is, you can tell that the falls were raging.

Don't be so ready to discard/discount this image, there's a nice rhythm between the vertical waterfall and the vertical tree trunks. Have you experimented with cropping l side? IMHO the ll is maybe expendable, and the jagged shape llc maybe detracts from it all...

I'm a little confused as to where all that mist is coming from? Maybe if it had more connection with the base of the falls? I think something a bit less abstract/interpretive would convey a better sense of the place but there is also something to be said for a more unique picture of a heavily photographed location.

Actually, that mist was a low cloud, as it was raining off and on most of the time and some times really heavy. There were plenty of low clouds and fog around. When I was at the viewpoint of North Falls from the road, you practically could not see the falls past the low clouds. Funny...it seemed to rain harder when I left my rain jacket in the car....but there's something invigorating about getting soaked by a good spring rain...
Eric, thanks for the cropping suggestion...I'll play with it a bit and see what works best. I kinda dont like the brush at the base of the falls. If I crop that out, and the left side...then I feel I've had to hack out too much of the pixels...meaning more that I'm just a hack for not seeing it in the field.

Here's another comp, including the main fall...

and this one of the trees just below me here...

OOh, that last one is cool! Damn, I love that one, and I feel the falls too!
