A shot from the lush and beautiful Gorton Creek in the Columbia River Gorge, Oregon

Originally I processed the color version of this experimenting with HDR and keeping it from looking too painterly. I have now been playing in photoshop with manual blends of two images to get a better range of light but haven't quite got it down yet. But what I did do is create this monochrome version and thought of sharing it with you all.
Would love to hear what you think of it, comments/critiques welcomed :)
