all about hiking

That's so lovely and peaceful. The way the water looks I can almost feel the cool spray of mist.

The colors are just so pretty too! Did you process it at all out of curiosity? I like to do that to some of my photos.

Thanks Molly, it's a magic place. I mainly increased vibrance and some contrast. I also increased the exposure on the foreground, which was underdone in camera. I do things like remove chromatic abberation, a bit of burning and dodging of areas of the image. Photos out of the camera a just flat, and not representative of what I saw with my eye.

The bad part about hiking around here is that there are so many biting bugs. So you have to wear a lot of clothes to be fully covered and that gets hot in the summer.
