Description
Yesterday's objective for four of us photograpers was a visit to Snoqualmie Falls.
The falls are 268 feet high or ten stories taller than Niagara Falls. It is located 30 miles east of Seattle.
My objective here is to picture both the falls and the rock basin surrounding them:)
Visitors to Snoqualmie Falls Park may be surprised to find they are within an operating energy facility.
The hydroelectric project contains two power-generating plants. Both are a century or more old and both are still generating clean, renewable energy for Northwest homes and businesses. The plants are undergoing modernization and when finished in 2013, the project will have the capacity to generate 54 megawatts of electricity - enough to power 40,000 homes.

see, this is what I mean by your "tonal" sensibilities. This is a beautiful shot of a majestic falls, but you have a tonal delicacy throughout that is, to me, quite gentle . I can see what tara's saying about the challenges of getting these different lights & textures in one shot--ie, without one being too strong or the other too weak. I can appreciate that a lot more, now that I photograph. But somehow all these different elements are in harmony with each other, and you have a softness throughout---not haze or mist or that kind of thing, I mean softness of feel while the details are still clear. And the "tonal" part is almost impossible for me to describe: It just feels as if everything here got together and sang the same music for you. (Ie, you 'caught' the same music.) Also, the texture of the water is almost silken, and the textures to the rocks---though they're rocks---are very painterly and gentle. (I saw some of that rock quality in your Rushmore shot.) Don't know if that's a big rock, top center: If it's a boat, that guy would be in trouble! But it's a fine divider for the whole image. Finally, the dissolution of the image into mist as the water cascades down is delicately handled as well. More always thoughtful & heartful work from you, a delicate shot of a magisterial scene; and you made both qualities work in easeful harmony.
