    That water is COLD.

    Great shot though ;)

    Is it just me, or is there something odd going on at some of the boundaries between the rocks and water? Dark halos in the sharpening, perhaps? Or just my eyes starting to go? Maybe compression?

    It's a gorgeous shot. I really like it.

    Very nice picture, I was there last month and your picture is much better than mine. Did you happen to take the trail farther up to Virginia falls? It's just a short distance farther and I think it is worth it.

    This is Virginia falls.

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort.

    Thanks, David. I not sure. Here is a crop from the full size image as post processed from RAW. If there is anything there it must be from my resize to make the framed image.

    Regretfully, my mind wanted to go, but my legs couldn't make the trip to Virginia Falls. Thank you for the comments.

    I think you nailed it Dixiethumb.gif

    This soft light is why all those clouds are welcomed on landscape shoots, except during sunrise and sunset that is:D

    I wanted to see some of your images from the shootout, but couldn't find any. Have you posted any yet?

    No, unfortunately I havn't gotten any up yet, I've been lazy, and only worked on them a little bit... I need to sit down and make it happen... :)

    Thank you, Jen.

    The motion came from the long exposure. Those who are familiar with the area can tell I shot from under the bridge. I used a tripod.

    Here is the shooting data:
    Camera: Canon EOS 5D
    Exposure Time: 3.2 seconds
    Aperture: f/22.0
    ISO: 100
    Focal Length: 50mm
    Exp. Comp: -1
