Looking for feedback on how and/ or if I can improve these pictures. 3 exposure HDR edited in Lightroom with a bit of dodging and burning for added detail. Your input is appreciated.

Lower Table Rocks is one of the most iconic landscape features in the Rogue Valley. Lower Table Rocks has a great hiking loop for people of any age, and the hike to the top of Table Rocks is a great workout with rewarding views.
These flat-topped buttes rise approximately 800 feet above the north bank of the Rogue River in southwestern Oregon. Upper and Lower refer to their positions relative to each other along the Rogue River; Lower Table Rock is located downstream, or lower on the river, from Upper Table Rock.
The Table Rocks were designated in 1984 as an Area of Critical Environmental Concern (ACEC) to protect special plants and animal species, unique geologic and scenic values, and education opportunities. The remarkable diversity of the Table Rocks includes a spectacular spring wildflower display of over 75 species, including the dwarf wooly meadowfoam (Limnanthes floccosa ssp. pumila), which grows nowhere else on Earth but on the top of the Table Rocks. Vernal pool fairy shrimp (Branchinecta lynchi), federally listed as threatened, inhabit the seasonally formed vernal pools found on the tops of both rocks.
The 4,864-acre Table Rocks Management Area is cooperatively owned and administered by the Medford District Bureau of Land Management (2,105 acres) and The Nature Conservancy (2,759 acres). Memorandums of Understanding signed in 2011 and 2012 with the Confederated Tribes of the Grand Ronde and the Cow Creek Band of Umpqua Tribe of Indians allow for coordinating resources to protect the Table Rocks for present and future generations. A cooperative management plan for the area was completed in 2013.

This part of Lower kachura Lake is also present in the famous hotel and restaurant Shagrila and provides a nice look to all visitors.

Tattoo by Denise de la Cerda. Wearer- Jen. Lower back tattoo of winter tree limbs, the crone, and the ankh. Modern Electric, Jersey City, not later than 2003.
The now trendy neighbourhood of Manhattan's Lower East Side is a mix of old tenement buildings and modern towers. Restaurants, bars and galleries abound in this once working class district.
This is down stream on the Zig Zag river. Cliff Zener and I were looking for a camera he lost 1&1/2 years ago.....
We didn't find it.
Below the main platform for Bay Station is an abandoned platform, which was used for only six months in 1966 when the TTC experimentally ran trains whose routes included portions of both the Yonge-University and Bloor-Danforth lines. The platform was in service from February to September 1966 as part of an ‘interlining’ experiment, in which the TTC ran trains along three routes, with one matching the subsequent Bloor-Danforth line, and the other two combining parts of the Bloor-Danforth line with the Yonge-University line. The experiment was deemed a failure, largely because delays anywhere quickly cascaded to affect the entire system.
Interlining was discontinued because of the confusion and delays, although it has been argued that it was politically motivated and that the experiment was sabotaged by the TTC, perhaps even designed to fail from the start. While St. George and Bloor-Yonge Stations remained operating upper and lower platforms for the two crossing subway lines, Bay Station would be served by only the Bloor-Danforth line. Lower Bay was closed to the public.
Lower Bay is now used to train new operators, to move trains between the two current lines, for platform-surface experiments, and to allow filming in the subway without disrupting public service. The station has been modified several times to make it look like a "common" North American subway station, and the TTC once had an elaborate pre-built set for converting it to a New York subway station. The set was used for the filming of the movie Don't Say a Word. Other notable movies shot at Lower Bay include Johnny Mnemonic, Bulletproof Monk and Mimic.
The station itself is not open to public access. Since its closure, entrance to the station has been bricked off, and the only access is through a pair of fire doors on Upper Bay's platform. The platform is considered a "Holy Grail" for Urban Exploration; however, the TTC has since installed security cameras on the platform.
The Lower Peirce Reservoir (Chinese: 贝雅士蓄水池下段) is one of the oldest reservoirs in Singapore. It is located near the MacRitchie Reservoir and the Upper Peirce Reservoir. It was originally created as the Peirce Reservoir but was designated as lower upon the creation of the Upper Peirce Reservoir. It is 6 hectares in size and contains many trees that are over 100 years old. There is a Lower Peirce Trail, which is a 900-metre boardwalk that takes visitors through a mature secondary forest. The reservoir is the source of the Kallang River, the longest river in Singapore.
The origional building is mentioned as far back as 1280, it was then known as Upper Shibden Hall,(the name now used by the derelict mansion at Catherine Slack). The building was rebuilt or encased in stone in 1626 and the letters JSF, and that year were about the fireplace. There is a large fireplace in the right hand half, but no inscription survives, if it is the same fireplace of course. Sir Thomas Browne is supposed to have resided here, and wrote his book 'Religio Medici' while doing so. In the 1890's it was said that the building was pulled down and replaced with two new cottages. However, it is my opinion that a new front was put onto the building (though perhaps parts were demolished).
This is a similar shot to one taken by Tim Green aka Atoach, use the tag 'Lower Shibden Hall', it won't take much finding because only six photos come up!

The TTC opened Lower Bay to the public for Doors Open Toronto on May 26, 2007. According to TTC Chair Adam Giambrone's introduction leaflet, this event was the first time since 1966 that the station's platform was open to the public. There were large line-ups, as a limited number of people were allowed on the platform at any one time. Two trains were parked on the tracks, a video screen displayed movies or commercials shot in Bay Lower, and movie posters were hung around the platform. The station was opened again for the event on May 24, 2008, September 29, 2010, and will be open to the public as part of a Nuit Blanche on October 2, 2010.

"Shorts Creek begins its journey west of Terrace Mountain. It winds through the hills, bubbles under Westside Road and flows calmly under the bridge at the park entrance. Between these two roads, it makes a wildly exuberant dash down to the delta, leaping out into space at three separate points. The first cataract is fairly sedate, the second is more enthusiastic and the third, closest to the delta, is spectacular.
BC Parks has made it easy for waterfall-watchers. A sturdy staircase leads up to the largest cascade, then the steps parallel the gorge up to the middle falls. You can safely enjoy watching tumbling water in one direction and beautiful Okanagan Lake in another. (There are lots of landings along the 400-step climb, so you can catch your breath as you appreciate the scenery.)
These falls were Dun-Water’s greatest ally when he was moulding the isolated, undeveloped delta into an estate. He captured the creek’s power in a system of wood stave, wire wrapped pipes so ingenious that European engineers, said was “absolutely impossible” even when they were looking at it. The harnessed water allowed the Laird to have spray irrigation for orchards and gardens plus running water in houses and barns while neighbors relied on pails and pumps. He also used this “hydro” power to grind grain and run a respectably sized sawmill. By tying a Pelton wheel into the system he generated electricity. He even had his own telephone network linking the main buildings."
