Lovely sun streaming through the trees and the long exposure on the waterfall is fantastic. Gorgeous shot xx

I've been there a few times but never at the right time and/or weather to see it like this. It's beautiful, thanks for sharing it!

@ronah I hit the trail around 9am and had the whole place to myself :) It will be busy this weekend though! Thanks Rona!

@summitpeak Thanks Natalie, it was a terrific day! I even took some photos from the log jam, but your's puts mine to absolute shame! :) It just inspires me to get up there several more times and keep trying!

Love the sun streaming through the gap - the rendering of the water is very pretty too. I hope you had your eyes open for bears while taking this photo though!!!

Simply gorgeous Aaron...hiking season here we come!

@rmkk Thanks Marlene! Remember how the park didn't open until mid-July last year? Making up for it this year for sure!
posted May 12th, 2012  
@grizzlysghost Yep, one of the latest openings on record if I do recall. According to the park's FB page, plowing is progressing well. We're planning on heading to the Bison Range this weekend. Hoping to get some good shots there. :)
posted May 12th, 2012  
@rmkk Good luck Marlene, keep an eye out for big elk too; I saw some beauties last time I was over that way! Looking forward to your shots!
posted May 12th, 2012  
Thanks. We go annually and usually catch the elk, bighorn sheep, as well as the pronghorn and bison. Last year, we saw a black bear on the range for the first time. That was special! Looks like this glorious weather is gonna stick around for awhile. Have a good weekend, Aaron!

@rmkk You too Marlene!

posted May 12th, 2012  
I've noticed your 'water processing' and it's given me a hint about how I might 'fix' my own problems with taking such pictures; the life/motion just disappears for me. Thanks for the inspiration! ;-)

I am so jealous, I want to be there!! Absolutely beautiful Aaron!! the light is just incredible!! Fav too for me! Did you use a filter??
posted May 12th, 2012  
@rmkgreene Thanks so much Ruth! No ND filter was used in this shot, I just made sure I had taken the light reading from the shady side, stepped it down a notch, and set it for a 1 second exposure to recover the natural light (this prevented the background from "blowing out" too much).
posted May 12th, 2012  
Many thanks to everyone who faved and commented on this shot, which resulted in PP achievement. You Rock!! :)
