[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
The snow has finally cleared from the valley bottom, so it was time for me to return to Alexander creek near Hope, BC to see what I could find in the way of waterfalls.
I ventured up a bit further than I have in the past and came across a lovely little section of small waterfalls; this scene being one of them.
A Circular Polarizer helped bring down the shutter speed a bit (0.5 seconds), which is about the slowest that I like to go, as half a second still captures the character of the flowing water without making it a blurry blob.
Post Production:
Nothing major other than bringing up the shadows in curves, a bit of saturation boost, and a luminance boost to make the foliage pop a bit more.

Hello Billy. The waterfall looks really refreshing by keeping it at low shutter. I like the sharpness and the color of the light falling on the green moss. Regards. Jusni

very nice exposure & light...

Hi Billy!

I like the pov very much, that the leftmost water line is aligned to the frame. Colors and the overall atmosphere are very fine. TFS
(Let me note you chose b&w for medium instead of color.)

Best regards,

Hello Tim

A lovely posting of these twin waterfalls.The cascading water is beautiful,and it looks like it is flowing down two sets of stairs.
The exposure is well done,and the water has a wonderful fluidity and silky look.
Great low POV,the focus is razor sharp.
