 Not a lot of PP on this one. I flipped it horizontally, used Silver Efex Pro to change to monotone, then added hue & sat to taste. I did a little contrast & levels adjustment, NI, resize, & sharpen.

Thanks for the votes, comments, & faves! I'm psyched to finish in top 10 in a FS! :-)

For those who asked, this is Falling Spring Falls outside of Covington, VA. It's about a 65 foot drop I think (and very treacherous when covered in snow & ice)!
