That is how I felt when I was here, like I had walked into a desert oasis with that cold clear water cascading over the rocks.

I showed the portrait version a while back, but this version shows more of that gorgeous cliff.

Nice perspective, Ben, and overall well done. Most shots there are straight on, this is more interesting.

Yes, I worked all around looking for good light and few people. Hard to get at this place.

Thanks and you are correct, not sure how to get interesting light into this location. The sun was at my back here, but later would be full shade.

Nicely done. I like the placement of the shadow and how you controlled the exposure.

Beautiful and I like the light. Curious, what time of day was it?

Ben this is a great shot of Calf Creek Falls and it is all because of how you shot it and processed it
I love the green trees and even better the green reflection in the water
Including a little sky so you could widen out and get those trees - brilliant!

Thanks, I used a ND filter to slow the shutter, then blended 3 shots for exposure.

This was shortly after noon. The conventional wisdom is that you have to shoot this scene early afternoon. Too early and you are into the sun, too late and it is deep shadow.

Thanks Bob, my first trip in, liked to freeze to death that night in the campground where it was 23 degrees. I used my 11-24 here with the camera level, then cropped out the excessive foreground.

I love these cliffs, the hike into Calf Creek is sort of like being in a mini Zion.

Nice imaging, Ben. I thought that was Lower Calk Creek Falls. Such a nice feeling in that canyon, especially if you're alone.

It is very nice, but even though this was April. it was also spring break for some and pretty busy, I got the last camp site. I want to get up to Escalante Bridge and maybe Upper Calf Creek Falls.
