Not my best for the year, but I went thru the files and came up with this as I went to a family reunion in Washington State at the end of July and hit all the Falls again...and I tried to improve on my DPC Hidden Gem 1000th Challenge entry.

I've been there in the Gorge! Just the lush greens and moss on the bridge scream PNW. :) I like the composition and the exposure of the water. Nice entry.
Very nice setting and love the use of slow shutter here. I could be mistakne but the shadows on left have really been worked to get detail in the leaves there. The bridge is really great to have in this natural setting and ads to this setting nicely.
