 This is a small waterfall on Blackwell Creek in the community in which I live. The drop is four or five feet. I had taken a similar photo last summer and liked it and decided to try again for this challenge.

Taken late afternoon with a polarizing filter. Adjusted white balance, curves, vibrance, and sharpened in LightRoom.

Agreed! Excellent Photo! Posters with this type of photo (that were prevalent back in the 1970's when I was a teen) were strong influences for me in choosing to pursue skill in photography.

I think those photographers added some variety of green filter to their creations to enhance the foliage and moss in pictures, like this, but I can see a place for the stronger warmth...as in the lower left-hand corner.

Good Work! :)
