About the Image(s)

We just returned from our trip through NC, GA and TN to see the Great Smoky Mountains and drive a bit of the Blue Ridge Parkway (which is closed mostly above Asheville, so we altered our plans. Our hunt was to get the smoky look (failed) and take waterfall pictures to get that silky look. We did a bunch of hikes and did both iPhone and camera shots, but I love that Long Exposure option on Live Photos on the phone and thought to try it. So this is the iPhone shot of one waterfall and hopefully next month I'll have the camera shot of it. Did some edits on phone and then in PS so sharpen, darken, vignetted and helped the colors a bit after cropping it.

This is a lovely nature image and I think you nailed a silky waterfall. The composition is terrific and my eye follows the water through the image from the top left to the bottom right.
Well done.

Wow, I've never tried to do smooth water with an iPhone. I love the way you crop the photo and the general set up is awesome. Great job in shooting and editing this iPhone photo.   Posted: 07/03/2026 20:10:59
