"Cullasaja Falls" Highlands, NC

I welcome any conversation. Thanks!

Shot here many times and this one is really as nice as I've seen. I know exactly where you were standing.

Mark, You have captured true beauty here....I love the colors, the depth and the color of the frame that you chose! Great job! Molly H

Beautiful scene. Regards.

Very nice photo ! g. Jitka .............(www.jitkaunverdorben.estranky.cz)

Nice shot, very realistic colors, and beautiful sense of depth. I am drawn all the way back.

You captured the water very well. Great colors too.

Thanks everyone for the gracious comments. This is one of the most recognizable waterfalls in western North Carolina. I exposed for the water, leaving the balance of the scene slightly underexposed. I made two passes with the scanner, one at 150% for most of the scene and one at 80% for the water. A layer mask was feathered into the falling water to bring the two together. One pass with the scanner would have rendered blown out highlights in the cascades. The color and contrast are as it was on this bright overcast day.
