This is a very lovely waterfall tucked just above a much larger falls

on White Creek in the Sipsey Wilderness portion of Bankhead

National Forest, in northern Alabama. Valentine Pond refers to the

hottub like plunge pool located offset from the waterfall.

 

This is a challenging waterfall to photograph. During the morning, the

sun comes in from an angle that hits right onto the face of the

waterfall. The pool is highly dependant on current flow conditions. It

is more interesting at low water, when the level of the water is *just*

above the rim of the pool. Unfortunately, then the waterfall is barely

flowing. This is an image taken at high water, so the pool is less

visible, but the waterfall is actually a waterfall, rather than a trickle.

 

I had to do an unsual amount of work in DPP to get an acceptable

photograph out of the RAW file. I'm curious what you all think.
