Taken of Jennings Creek in Arcadia, VA. Fought with the lighting for a couple of hours - finally late afternoon was (hopefully) forgiving enough to get some decent shots.

Although I don't have any fancy wide angle lenses, this is as wide as my little camera will shoot, so I believe that satisfies the rules and hopefully it'll appear wide enough. :-)

PP included:
straighten horizon
slight crop
layers of gaussian blur, sharpen, Neat Image, color sat, curves, contrast, burn/dodge brush, tint brush
clone brush
save for Web

Beautiful image you have. Very nicely captured. I love the small patch of brightness in the back - adds a light element as well as a color element. Excellent! (10 during challenge)

sorry I missed this. It is one of the better waterfall photos in this challenge I think.

I love the sun shining on the trees just in the corner of the photo. Great capture.

Great lighting - nice photo. Using the shrub in foreground makes this have much more of a point of interest.

Could be a very beautiful composition with great color, but it's way too soft. I think you used too slow of a shutter speed while handholding.

Very pretty... beautful color with a "fairytale" quality to it. A longer exposure would have been nice to balance all the fine detail against silky water. I probably would have cropped the bottom and cloned out the bush to make the view seem wider and offset the falls so they're not vertically centered. Actually, knowing me, I probably would have waded out there and yanked the bush out by the roots. ;-p

Love the Orton effect (the mistyness)... The colours are a bit on the cooler side (your yellow tones are lemony), but it's a great image indeed.

Very nice fall shot. contrast of light adds rather than subtracts

Beautiful!

Very nice! I like the gold background adding so much interest and 'pop' to the shot. Overall effect of the picture is 'soothing' to me. You must have been exporing again!

Very pretty, but doesn't look particularly "wide".

This is beautiful. That hint of light in the background is great. The water is beautiful and like white velvet. Great dimension.
