(From Wildtexas.com): Hamilton Pool Preserve consists of 232 acres of protected natural habitat featuring a jade green pool into which a 50-foot waterfall flows. Formed long ago by the collapse of a large grotto (cave) into Hamilton Creek, the pool is surrounded by huge slabs of limestone that rest by the waters edge and large formations similar to stalagmites which grow from the ceiling high above. The ceiling and surrounding cliffs of the grotto are home to moss, maidenhair fern and cliff swallows. Converted to B&W using Alien Skin Exposure II.

Another nice image from this place. I like how you framed this including the ladder--glad to see the life ring in case of a mishap. Overall, I really like the dark tones, especially how it draws attention to the bright rock and pool of water below. I'm not familiar with this software (is it a plug-in or stand alone?) but I'm wondering if it allows you to tweak individual areas of an image or if it only acts globally. The reason I ask, is because I'd love it if it were possible to brighten the delicate waterfall--right now it gets lost in the image and I only see it after recognizing the splash on the rock and what it's from.
