I hate these photo locations where you almost have to wait in line to get your shot. Christine Falls is perhaps one of the emost photographed waterfalls in the Pacific Northwest, due in part to the beautiful stone bridge above it, and the fact that it’s in a national park. But I thought it was worth my while to bump shoulders with other photographers for this shot. I focused strictly on the falls themselves, cropping out the bridge.

Using HDR technique created the little spotlights of falling water in the lower right corner, and enriched the brown of the rock in that corner, too. I like the way the reddish-brown rocks complement the blue-green water in the plunge pool.
