[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Its exactly 2 years today since I first joined TL, and I've never stopped trekking ever since :)

This site has taught me a lot and I wish to thank you all for that. I am humbled by the generosity of folks here. I shall continue to share and learn from each one of you.

Thank you very much!

About the photo:

This is the 2nd of a series of 7 falls found in Lake Sebu, South Cotabato (1000meter above sea, southern most part of the island of Mindanao in the Philippines). Aside from the 7 falls, this rustic town is also known for its three lakes.

The falls is tamer during the summer. But during the rainy months you will be able to hear the raging waters and see the mist from afar (such as this one).

More about the falls here

-------
Tech:
- took several tries before I was satisfied. The white water and the green forest plus the changing lighting almost every few seconds because of the passing clouds made it challenging to find the right exposure.
- CPL did the trick in getting a saturated color for the greens.
- USM after resize

------

This image made it to the Favorite Places gallery of Outdoor Photographer :)


Thank you very much for viewing! Have a nice day/evening!
