Wahclella

This fall is an instant favorite of mine. It's about a 1 mile hike. The columbia gorge is lush with spring greens right now. It was drizzling a bit on the hike, to the right you can see the rain water pouring down the moss.

Very cool looking place! Did you venture down onto that bridge?

Yep, i did, some spray from the falls made it to the bridge.

Always amazing.

Thanks!

I think the rain water cascading down the moss is a very subtle part of this photo. It might look nicer on a big print. At web sizes it seems almost lost. I needed rain to dump on me for a little while to really get that ghost fall going, so it could become a more substantial part of the image.

I'm wondering if it has too much visual space in the comp. from pictures I had seen before, I had pre-visualized this comp and that's the danger of going to a location with a comp already in mind. You're not really seeing it with fresh, unbiased eyes.
