Just one shot I'm fairly happy with from Drift Creek Falls just SE of Lincoln City, OR. I need to find some before pictures, as the big rocks you see in the foreground, used to be up on the cliff face and last year fell down and made it look completely different. Even living here, I've only been there once and it was like 15 years ago. Then again, I'm just a year into really getting into photography, so places like this weren't on my mind that long ago.

C&C always welcome. This is a single exposure with a couple different programs used to process. I took a lot of shots, but really not all that happy with most of them. Then again this was middle of the day, so light wasn't very amazing. But it wasn't raining and wanted to take advantage of that. There's 5 or so I half like for general shots in my galleries section, but this is the only one I do like.

    My wife and I did that hike a year and a half ago. Fun little hike. What do you want the focal point of this to be? The bridge or the waterfall? If the waterfall, I would crop a lot tighter on the fall and lose most of the bridge. As it is cropped, my eyes start at the waterfall (right in the center and the brightest object) and then to the bridge. My eyes follow the bridge right of the frame in the upper right.
