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

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)
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
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!
