Hiking around the Columbia River Gorge

[yo13dawg]

Here are a few from the hiking I did around the Columbia River Gorge this past week in Oregon.

1. Punchbowl falls


Had a huge sky reflection in the water, I minimized most of it from the polarizer but there is still some visible in the shot.

2. Oneonta Falls


3. Fairy Falls

First impressions: 1) nice image, but damn those reflections anyway - I might be tempted to try and clone it out. 2) looks a little underexposed on my monitor, but compositionally, I like it. 3) This is a nice image - you have captured the "flow" in the water very nicely. The only thing I would be tempted to do is to crop out the bottom part where there are "little" falls - probably about one-third of the way up - this gets a bit of the stuff out of the foreground as it tends to be a bit distracting, yet leaves enough of a foreground to provide the depth perspective that you need in an image like this one. My 0.02¢ FWIW.

Thanks all! I tried to clone out the sky reflection but with my limited PS ability was unable to do so to my liking. I couldn't get the rocks to match up, and it really looked like crap after I got done with it, so I left it.
