Evening at Cascade Falls, May 31, 2019

Cascade Falls is a beautiful place, despite the signs warning about poison ivy and rattlesnakes. So far, I’ve only seen one snake, and it wasn’t one of those. I like the evening light back lighting the waterfall and throwing a shadow from the grass in the middle. This is a long enough exposure to record some motion in the water, giving it a brushed look. The foreground foliage and darker background elements anchor the central rocks and water. A few things to fix: lens flare in the top center, and a few errant lines on the right.
