Challenge: Soft Focus II (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Olympus C-5050Z
Location: doughnut falls in big cottonwood canyon
Date: Aug 19, 2006
Aperture: F8
ISO: 64
Shutter: .77 seconds
Galleries: Water, Self Portrait
Date Uploaded: Aug 22, 2006

 taken in late evening to get some 'flow' i liked the idea of having a person in the photo and was alone when shooting this so i decided a self portrait would have to work. a little curve, saturation, and contrast adjustments, not much else. played with gaussian blur then fade opacity 'normal mode' around 50/50 until i liked it. hope you like it too.

Cool place but picture have some minuses... it feels quite overexposed. The light and even shadows feels too bright.

This is the best one so far. Looks like an Elven Cave or something. The water coming down looks like light. Excellent.

this shot is too blurry...could be sharper...Just Kidding!!

Good shot of the falls. Right under the falls is really blown out, as is the back of the T-shirt.

Might have been a good Zen subject too. Your pic certainly gives the peaceful mood.
