This gorgeous waterfall in Costa Rica had amazing atmosphere, as the spray and mist was picked up by the beautiful sunbeams.

A lightshow that I won't soon forget.

Love your dedication Dean, although I'm glad you obviously didn't need to go too deep. Either way, the low view works a treat.

The lightshow, with those stunning rays of light are quite brilliant!
Make your life spectacular!

Thanks David! Yes, any deeper than that and I get a bit nervous;))

Quite magical with those sunbeams and lovely waterfall. Must have been quite a challenge standing in the water! Kudos for courage. :)

Thanks, Cynthia! It was definitely tricky keeping my lens dry from all of the spray, but well worth it!

A real beauty. The positioning of the rays and the falls is perfectly placed. A must to click for the terrific details and exposure.
