Oregon, Mount Hood, Stream, HDR

Not sure why HDR was employed here. I have seen many single exposures that do justice to a stream like this, but see nothing necessitating any tone mapping.

The composition bugs me a bit, mostly because of the log at the top, against the edge of the image, and there's a bit too much "white" water -- these stream shots look better when there is more depth and greater contrast that reinforce the impact of all the nice greens. The thin scrag coming in from the left upper middle doesn't help either.

Keep up the good work. I'd suggest more effort in capturing the scene with a single shot and all that that entails as well as searching for the scene that yields a better opportunity to convey the natural beauty of these rain forest streams.

Oh what a picture, what a photograph.  My envy is as green as the foliage!
