We paused on the way out to Hebron Falls. There is a beautiful jungle in North Carolina.

Nice shots from my hood. Live about 15 minutes from there.

Both are beautiful and outstanding images. Since I was not there I cannot say if you used a ND filter for these images, many photographers do. When I am shooting something like this my favorite is a Polarizer filter which I use to eliminate or suppress the reflections, mainly on the rocks. Because Polarizers have a filter factor of 2 they indeed double as a ND filter allowing using a small lens aperture to slow the movement of the water if so is desirable.

Both images could benefit from color correction since both have taken a pretty strong green cast. If you prefer them like that it is your choice since they are your images. My tendency is to correct the colors or having the correction done by a professional lab if I decide to print them.
Let me say those are technical details only and both are excellent images.

We did the Boone Fork Loop on the 4th. Profile to Grandfather is a favorite trail of mine in your neighborhood.

Thank you for the tech suggestions. The large rock does have a lot of reflection highlights. I didn't have a ND on the lens but I brought one and a polarizer. I usually hike (with other non-photographers) and photograph, sometimes there just isn't time to get the setup perfect. I've tried leaving the polarizer on the lens on other trips but the light can change in and out of the canopy. I guess I have to decide to hike or take photos. But I'm getting pretty good a holding the camera still when sitting. I had a table tripod in the back pack but it started to rain heavily. When I got back the camera complained about Error #20, and the mirror would rapidly flap. Eventually things dried out and the camera is working again. I'm lucky.

I am not an expert on rocks but the rhododendrons seem to be right on. They should be close to the color shown or white.The color of their leaves is just right on. As for a tripod have you thought of a fly rod instead.

I hooked what felt like a nice one for about 10 seconds and then the knot gave. The Watagua is mostly stocked on the beats we frequent along NC105.
