This is Duggers Creek Falls located at Linville Falls in North Carolina
The image is full frame from my Nikon D800.  ISO is 100, F-16 at 30 seconds.
Most visitors to the park head straight for the big falls and walk right by this slightly off trail beauty.

Thanks for looking.

Larry

Absolutely gorgeous image! The composition is perfect, exposure timing is spot on, the light is fantastic and the processing very well done.
A great photograph is absorbed by the eyes and stored in the heart.

This is beautiful but I wish the foreground wasn't out of focus. This is a perfect situation for focus stacking.

Very nice. Nice slow pace here.
I agree with EJ: however, esp. since I'm now no longer a fan of 3x2, I would prob. crop this to 5x4 taking a bit off the top, left and bottom and thus eliminating much of the bottom right out-of-focus area. If you wanted to emphasize the vertical lines, a 16x9 might also work, again removing some of the bottom right.

Beautiful shot, for me the out of focus foreground helps lead the eye into the scene.

Thank you for all the kind comments and for the advice. I will take both to heart on my next shoot.

I agree with the comment RE the OOF FG.. However, I love the silky water!
