Portal Falls

One should really avoid shooting a blown out, contrasty waterfall in the middle of a bright sunny day whenever possible. Just sayin'...

(Located at the base of Mt. Whitney)

As ever, thank you so much for stopping by. I do appreciate you all!

@kiwichick Way more confusing, IMHO, but maybe I'll try further editing it that way and see what happens. :-)

[Sue Rose]

I just love the fabulous light in this. Beautiful and a fav

[Jane Pittenger]

Love the texture you got on the rocks and lovely light

[Lesley Chisholm]

@aikiuser I find that often myself! I've saved blown out photos by turning them black and white many a time ;)

[Leah]

Nice motion and contrast.

[Ross Walker]

The wonderful black background area saves this one and emphasizes the water patterns. Very well done.

GORGEOUS!!!! Fav

[Derek Vickers]

Truly artistic. Keep doing what you shouldn't!

[Cindy Muir]

Well, it might be that one should avoid shooting in those conditions, but this is freakin' awesome! Fav!
