I got the chance to visit the Columbia Gorge this morning and was delighted to find that they've reopened the trail to Bridal Veil Falls. If you haven't been down there, it's a must see. The trail is really well done. They also removed the steel bars that used to ruin the fall itself, making it much more photogenic.

This is from a spot below the falls, along the creek. Comments and critiques appreciated.

Cheers,

This is as fine as I have seen this composition David. I've always really like that deep pool along the huge boulder there.. :cool:

This is the best I've seen shot of these falls. That middle part really draws my attention and brings me to a serene feeling. I went there this winter when it was gushing, and didn't like any of my shots. Looks like the water level is manageable now.

David,
I have this almost exact composition I captured back in March. I liked mine and I like yours even more because the water isn't raging as much and the moss is alot healthier.
