The Buttermilk Cascades 1 (hdr)
This shot has been featured in The Male Photographer , Pay it Forward , and All Water in Motion
This shot has been nominated for the prestigous Pay it Forward Group by Evelina Kremsdorf
This is what she had to say about my image -
“I’d like to Pay-It-Forward by nominating a great guy and a fantastic photographer DJ
I had a please of meeting DJ this past weekend and saw him in action. And by action I mean nothing stands in his way of taking a one-of-a-kind shot by climbing the cliffs, getting in freezing water and finding an angle very few or no one has shot before.
The image I chose is The Buttermilk cascades 1 which I believe is also his favorite and I witnessed him taking this shot while getting down from the bridge and standing in the freezing water.
Please consider DJ as a Nominee. He really deserves the spotlight!”
Thanks so much to her, i take this as a great honor! :D

just Fantastic & awesome colors also, I would guess that this is one shot in raw?
tantricpark182 replied
your right about the raw part. but its actually 5 shots spaced 1 stop apart from ev-2 to ev+2 then merged in photomatix and finished in photoshop. thanks for the comment.
