Lower Calf Creek Falls
I kind of messed up in a couple ways on this shot. First I wanted to be there during prime leaf colors, but I ended up arriving while the colors were on the wane. Secondly, I wanted to be there when the entire scene was in shadow. Unfortunately, I took too many other shots during my pre-dawn hike and arrived only to discover the sunlight already creeping into the scene. In an effort to make lemonade from lemons, I waited until the scene became more evenly lit and got what I could. In the end, I felt I got something decent as the reflection in this particular scene popped much better with this lighting.
Oh, and by the way, this spectacular 120 ft. waterfall is located in southern Utah's Grand Staircase-Escalante National Monument. It's a beautiful hike that I highly recommend even if there wasn't a beautiful waterfall awaiting you at the end..
