Salt Creek Falls Photo

Photographer’s Note

Here is a photo I took along Hwy 58 near Willamette Pass. As you can see from the date it was late fall and the colors were changing fast. Normally there is so much snow that it is very difficult to get to this beautiful place...but in Oregon we tend to have Indian Summers and our weather stays pretty nice until late October. The one thing about Oregon that I encourage everyone to do is go hiking at the numerous state parks and recreation areas. There is so much beauty in this state...You don't want to miss anthing!

Take Care!

Hi Bettina,

This place is impressive, really beautiful and it seems even more interesting in Fall. Your POV is very nice once we can have a good idea of the heigh of this pace, nicelly cmposed too. You capture the water beautifully, I just found the top a little bit blured, it would be nice to have it darkened just -1. But maybe it's just my screem... Thanks for showing us the beauty of Oregon.

Cheers,

Flavia

Hello Bettina

Magnificent POV, this area simply looks spectacular.
The composition of the photo looks great, the full attention is put to the waterfall and with teh dark background atmosphere the attention brought to the waterfall is onyl enhanced.
Thank you for sharing.

great water textuer and patterns. i'd increase contrast on the tree in the upper right to bring them out a bit. i'd alos lighten the green areas at the bottom of the falls.

Hi Bettina. Looking at this photo is like standing on the edge of a cliff, with no handrail!! Great photo. You have chosen the perfect shutter speed and retained the feeling of power in the water. Well composed with a great POV. Good colour and detail also. Thanks for sharing.
Cheers, Paul.
