Icy Falls

I took a drive to our local falls - Shoshone Falls - where they've opened the gates up and instead of the usual 600 cubic feet per second flowing they've got it at 3100cfs. There was ton's of over spray making everything really icy, but made for great rainbows.

This is of one of the springs that come out of the canyon wall:

Everything was covered in ice - railings:

and by the time I was done, my hair was coated in ice! No pics of that though.:D

    Thanks everyone. They were shot in Twin Falls, Idaho. This is a once a year opportunity for pictures so it was worth the frozen fingers. :D

    So I went back yesterday and took a few more shots, you can really see how much ice has built up on the falls:

    The water is really green too. The little black dots to the left of the water are a bunch of pigeons.

    Thanks Nikolai. I'm still a beginner at this so, I'm really not sure what to do in with LAB. I'll play around with them a bit and see what I can do.

    I meant something like that:

    I obviously did not spent much time in analyzing images, so I'm not saying that my mod is of any noticeable quality. This example is here only to show that something can be done to improve the shot. Your original is pretty good as it is thumb.gif, but as they say "why stop on good if you can have fantastic" mwink.gif
