Waterfalls in Paradise Meadow

This is probably my most popular photo. I took it in 2007 during a trip to Mt. Rainier National Park. I was lucky enough to have it take first place in the landscape category of the 2008 Nature's Best Photography Windland Smith Rice International Awards Competition. As the winner of the landscape category a 4 foot by 6 foot print of this image was displayed at the Smithsonian National Museum of Natural History in Washington D.C. from November of 2008 through May of 2009 along with the other category winners. It was a great experience to go up there and see it.

 

It is also presently being shown on the MSNBC website with an article on nature photography, which can be seen here:
