"Risk and Reward"
An image of a small cascade along Pendleton Creek in Blackwater Falls State Park, West Virginia. Getting down to this stream was downright dangerous. My heart was pounding at the thought of simply climbing back up the ravine. Don't think I'll head down here again for some time  :) At least there was this little cascade as a reward!

Beautiful fall falls shot :)  I love all the leaves and the exposure time was well chosen.

Another of those "take me right there" shots. Great warm colors in the fallen leaves and nice treatment on the water. I'd be curious to shoot this from the other side of the stream, back into that smaller cascade in the right side of the frame for more of a lead into from the left and exit from lower right feel.

Great image.

The composition and layering of colors work really well here.
