Carlo, thanks for the nice comments, this image was taken at the upper end of the Chimneys Day Use area in the Great Smoky National Park.

I took several shots concentrating on the mid range or distant objects, normally I would chose one of those but I liked the up close focus of this shot with the OOF background

It's the kind of place I love to visit. Must be a gorgeous footpath leading to that bridge. Where is this? Colors and lighting is perfect. The greys and dark blue on the rocks is awesome. I can almost reach into my monitor a pick one up. I'm almost expecting to see a deer peeking it's head off from the side. Very nice Rich.

Colin, around here the mosquitoes tend to be active in the evening so I got out unscathed. The ranger told me that this wash is very short and is normally dry except when it rains.

Marc, I shot raw and convert to TIFF in Oly master 2 and normally complete the process in ps7 but this is the first image I have processed in my new CS2 and used the exposure tool, quite nice. It would have been more difficult to get this color and tonal look in ps7..

Very good exposure and colours. Do you shoot jpeg ?

Looks like a really nice spot, the sort of shday damp place where I get eaten alive by insects!
It's not that often you can get that low down in a stream and not get wet!
