No this is not [user]DrAchoo[/user]. But he was standing next to me when I took this shot. ;-)
Thanks to Jason for taking me here and giving me tips on the post processing. I'll take the secrets to my grave, unless bribery or torture is involved! For the record, I prefer bribery.

Congrats David on this beautiful top 10. The added bonus of beating Jason by several places only sweetens the shot! Great spending time with you and your family in Cannon Beach recently. Blessings!
Excellent capture. Must admire your work flow. This shot looks so good at 640px, the sharpening is perfect. The shot has excellent detail. I usually have trouble with that in basic.
This is gorgeous. I love all the greens with the sprinkles of yellow. I love your composition too with the soft flowing water breaking into the scenery like that. Congrats on the top 10!
I have to say, I've not ever seen this angle of Multnomah Falls before. Usually people go in tighter and leave out the ruggedness of the canyon. This perspective draws my eye to the final fall below the bridge, something I have not looked at as separate from the rest before. I drive by here at least 6 times a year and I have now seen something that I hadn't before. Thank you for this.
An awesome capture of beautiful location - can't wait til this challenge is over so I can see the details about it - a new place to mark on my vacation wishlist!
Nobody does greens like Achoo. I like the landscape comp on this one. It gives a little more scale to the falls. David-- are you sure the Doc didn't at least write the title? ;)
