[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Christmas day at the Cataract Falls Trail was a peaceful time. On typical weekend in the winter this trail is as busy as any. However, for obvious reasons there were very few hikers taking in the beautiful sights. My girlfriend works as a nurse in San Francisco and had to work Christmas day. So to me the next best thing was spending my morning here.

Notes: The actual shutter speed was 2.5 seconds.

Excellent pov and color rendition, nice touch to capture the red leaf in the foreground, well done!

rgds,

Nicely done. You really captured the feel of the place. I really like the colors and, I agree with the others, that the red leaf in the foreground really ads to the composition of the photo. Nice job.

So beautiful! Good atmospheric perspective and I like the POV. Great with that orange-brown leaf in the immediate foreground and awesome compo. It looks so cool and serene. TFS!

Excellent DOF here and great idea to have a nurse as girlfriend.;-)))

I really like the compo, to you volontary put the leaves on the foreground? They really give a little plus to the image.

Well done

Hello Mike,
This is really a beautiful scenery, wow! I like this great DOF, exposure, POV and composition. I might have tried a little filter; green or orange just to makes it a little punchier. This is anyway a great capture that makes me feel like being in a Tolkien's story ;) Thanks,
Claudine

Hi Mike,
WOW!!! Great! Absolutely great! I wish I manage to do such wonderful photos like yours. Great angle, great details, colours, everything is GREAT. The leaf is perfect!Takes my breath away. Thanks for this one. I think it's the most wonderful photo from everything I saw this days.

All the best,
Ioana

Hi Mike,

Very nice shot! So much green...! Great scene!

Hi Mike!
Beautiful nature, such peaceful and sharp caption, well chosen POV,Wish I was there...

Yes, that trail can look like Hawaii when the water is flowing. I usually hike the upper part of the falls from the top. I should probably start from the bottom some time, but I'd rather not start out by hiking, I think.

Great photo.
