My falls today are Narada Falls in Mt. Rainier National Park. This particular visit was to be honest at the wrong time of day so the light was rather harsh but I did get a nice rainbow from the spray at the bottom.

Nice job capturing the rainbow, Alan.
This is a small scene within Sardine Falls along Sonora Pass in CA, also taken with harsh, midday light.

Rainbows beat harsh lighting any day!!!

This set of falls looks like it was made for B&W and the fast shutter speed seems to add a feeling of energy to the flow. Nice one.

I like the close in view of the falling water. This brings the viewer closer into the lush mosses that surround the falling water which isn't quite as obvious when you back far enough out to fit the whole falls into the frame.
Another view of Madison Creek Falls from a recent trip with some challenging lighting to cope with.

I love all the waterfall photos posted! Those with a beautiful rainbow are unique.
I posted this waterfall not long ago, but I had time to process it better. Today I would like to add this Small waterfall here - among the waterfalls.
Just for completeness, this is a photo from my new Panasonic S1R with a pixel shift.

I visited those falls with midday light and the patchy direct light is a nightmare to process. You did a good job taming it with this image.

Does the pixel shift include a level of focus stacking? You have a remarkable DoF in this scene and it looks really nice.
I might be inclined to clone out the uprooted dandelion in the foreground if this were my capture. Its neat that like everything in the frame it is very well focused but it is a bit distracting from the beauty of these waterfalls.

Thank you Alan for your constructive comment. I don't think the pixel shift will create focus stacking levels. Good depth of field simply worked out. The wide angle lens at the 20mm focal length also helped. The image is 3X reduced from the original size (37x56) and I like the well-crafted detail. I care about that. And the pixel shift produces great detail that looks sharp when the image is scaled down.
Yes, I can remove the dandelion (although I left it there on purpose this time, because I liked it as a detail in the foreground). OK.. I'll do it.
I will have to go back there and take a long exposure photo.. the pixel shift extended the exposure very little.

This is a nice shot of a fjord from Alaska National Park, I like it the most out of all the shots you posted in 2018 after visiting Alaska. It is a beautiful fragment of a huge wall, which caught my attention with its beautiful full-color detail. It is interesting that the steep walls are covered with greenery, especially trees that thrive here. Beautiful shot, Doug.
