Hello FM members,
My first upload!
I have been a member of this forum for few years and have strictly used this forum to learn from all the amazing photographers that post their images here. I always read numerous posts and have tried to learn and improve. I never had the courage so far to post any of my images on this forum, but in order to improve further, I had to be brave and post here! So here it is....
This image was taken last year during my trip to Olympic National park. Would appreciate feedback on what i did right, wrong, and what could I have done to make it better! Thanks for viewing.
Happy Holidays







Sol Duc Falls, Olympic National Park

definitely a good 1st post. on my monitor a bit oversaturated. that's not an issue. when i switch the monitor color space from Adobe RGB to sRGB the color tones down and are pleasing to look at. good shot.

Very nice image indeed. I agree that the greens are a bit saturated, also the image could be a bit darker especially the shadows and rocks.

Apparently this was taken on week day when the foot traffic on the bridge was minimal! Every time I am there it is like a freeway over-pass.

Nice image. Great composition, although I would've included a bit more of that trunk well into the lower right of the frame.
Love the feel of depth to the image.

Don't really remember if it was a week day or not but I sure got lucky.

You r right about adding more trunk to the lower right but it was hard due to where the trunk ended. I used a 17-35 lens and was more focused on getting the stream coming down. I am glad u liked the composition. Appreciate your comments.

So let me tell ya what ya did wrong! You didn't just jump down there and move that big old tree/log out of the way....right! GRIN
A bunch of years ago I shot some pics of the falls and entered one in my photo club. During a break one of the photographers commented that my image didn't have the big old log in the way, so he wondered when I took my shot. Things just change from year to year.
Sol Duc is a nice easy hike into a great place.

Your image reminds me of my trip there.

Jim, now that u said that I wonder if the image would have the same feel if the tree trunk was not there🤔.
I agree, the hike to falls is easy and very nice. Got lucky as I was the only one on the bridge, I have heard that it really gets crowded.

I really like this and it's definitely way better than what I got when I visited a few years ago. If this image were mine, I would think about brightening the water a bit but other than that, great work!

I like the second version, nice adjustments. However, the greens up here are intense and some don't believe it until they see it.
