Description
It's here that the water falls, among many other places in Gatineau Park.We walk along a path running parallel to a series of falls like this everytime we go climbing in an area known to climbers as the Shrine. Today I finally went up without any climbing gear with the intention of getting a photo or two of what I knew must exist.
A `londonxpress inspired deviation.
Corrections:
Very hard contrast adjustments and strong shadows in Camera Raw.
Saturation and vignette enhanced and applied in Cameraw Raw.
More vignette, border and text applied in PS.
Setup and Gear:[Nikon D70][18-70 mm AF-DX][tripod]

This is a really inspiring view. The beautiful angle really makes it like a dream.
The water also has that mysterious element what makes it so good.

Thank you very much. I never noticed but the water does have a painted quality to it. Maybe I should try and pass it off as one.

This seems to be the perfect place (lighting wise) for this type of work - no harsh highlights and a nice even amount of shadows from one side of the frame to the other. I like how you've composed this - we're drawn right towards the middle of the frame where the movement of the water is. The really nice part about the piece is that I can hear the sounds of the water on the rocks - very tranquil!

Hopefully the number of mosquitoes wasn't captured along with that of the water...kind of ruins the tranquility.

O, nice captured!
You kno what, I really like this kind of places, I wold say - mistic places. Water and , especially, waterfalls always attract me
This photo looks very nice enlarged!

Thank you. They're amazing places. Very hard to find though.
Thankfully there wasn't much of a crop (if any) so it should print to larger than an 8x10 and still look great.

Heh, one of my better titles ... not that that means much. I hadn't considered that to be why I liked the stuff in the FG but now it makes sense. Until now I just thought it made the photo look better. It really does add depth, thanks.

It's so gorgeous that it almost doesn't look real.
Looks like such a serene place - you definitely capture some true beauties.

I tried dodging it but it was so sunny that there's no info left in the highlights, they're gone. Cheers

But the advantage was that I was able to try and take the photo 10+ times to make sure I had roughly what I wanted. Maybe I'll go back and look to see if I have an underexposed version of the same photo, maybe PS will blend them for me.
