You've been gracious with my previous attempts so here's another. Grand Falls just South of Joplin Wednesday at 6:30 AM. 1/3 second @ F20. Converted from RAW in C1 LE and with the highlights at top of the outcropping dodged in photoshop.

Thanks for Looking

Bruce I find that the numerous angles at which the waters are cascading to be very inviting. I also like the texture of the flow you've captured @ 1/3 sec too.

I do get a sense of the frame being a little tight at the top. Was this shot in 35mm format and cropped from the sides? Looks like a great place to spend an early morning! :wavey:

I always wondered about Grand Falls - our photo club was thinking about having an outing down there (but I'm not sure it's still on). Actually, there is a bikini shoot some of the members are doing there - today, I think. Just me, but I tend to like seeing where the waterfalls are falling, but the rock is your subject, and the water going over it is interesting. Thanks for posting!
