Located in the Byeonsanbando National Park in South Korea, this 30-meter tall waterfall is an easy 1.3 kilometer hike to reach. The hike is pleasant with beautiful scenery and the sound of rushing water all around.
This was an HDR image that I then used a levels adjustment layer set to multiply for the sky and another set to screen for the water and the rocks. I used Nik Color Efex 3.0's Pro Contrast, ran Nik Dfine 2.0 for noise removal and smart sharpened. Later I reopened the file and used another adjustment layer set to soft light at about 48% then sized the image, added the border and saved for web.
Prediciton here is about 5.3 the way my photos have been going lately. I might be lucky to break that!

This is a cool image, however I can't help but thing that the rocks in the background have a "weird" look to them. It seems that maybe some sort of contrast/lighting adjustment might have taken advantage of their uniqueness.
