Wahkeena Falls on the Columbia River Gorge scenic highway

Beautiful! I love the colors and composition. The long exposure really did a great job on the waterfall too. Excellent photo.

Wonderful composition. Exposure looks great too.

That long sidewalk is begging for a human figure.

Good color. The image seems a little fuzzy though, does it look this way on the slide or is it a side effect of its scan?

Thanks a lot for your comments. I was surprised to note that Bob found the image to be fuzzy. I did not notice that.. the slide definitely is not fuzzy. Thanks anyway. There may have been a chance for a human figure on the pathway had I not chosen a weekday for my trip.

I like this photo because it is an interesting take on a waterfall. Also, it gives the illusion of the waterfall being cut off at the edge of the walkway--sort of a different way of visualizing a waterfall. In addition, the perspective of the walkway and the off-center placement of the waterfall make this a pleasing visual composition. I don't know squat about photography, but I do know what I like from an artistic perspective, and I like this.

Martha : Thanks a lot for your comments. It felt great to read your comments. I will upload some more of my images from the same trip and I sure hope you like them as well.

to me the asphalt walkway takes a lot away from this. It does serve as a leading line, but doesn't have the right aesthetic.

I like it - Just food for thought though: would a lower angle have been better?

I suffer a similar scanner-induced fuzziness since I have to use a flatbed which is also used by hundreds of other people for documents & so picks up fingerprints and other gunk.

Falling water, however, is one of the things I enjoy doing: http://www.photo.net/photodb/photo?photo_id=788797

Nice composition and exposure. I am planning a trip there later this summer.
