Veliki Slap, the "big waterfall," dominates one end of Plitvice Lakes National Park. Its cascades were smashing into the ground only a few yards from where I was standing. I tried to make a landscape photograph that would be primeval in nature, comparing the gentle cascades and surrounding plants in the foreground to a thundering tapestry of natural power of “The Slap” in the background. I exposed for that background, and then recovered the important detail, such as the light shimmering on the small cascades in the shadowy foreground, later in Photoshop.
