Interesting Subjects (Green Dam Falls - Hakone)

Didn't know what title to give this image, but the angle (actually, not quite in front exactly) and the way that the trees cross in front of the top of the falls - thanks to the super wide angle, all come together to put this image in Flickr Explore! Whoo hoo!

It feels good to get a photo in Flickr Explore. It's the ultimate form of Flickr recognition, I think. But what do people like this guy who have 315 photos in Explore? I bet the whole 'recognition' feeling is probably gone. To this guy it's probably like, "Geez, I gotta move that photo in the organizer to Explore set. What a pain!"

I am in no way comparing myself to Lars. He is in a class of his own, but have also noticed that he has awesome subjects. Lars processing is also very consistent and his style is mature.

This photo was taken off of the regular path while taking a casual walk down the hill from Hiryu Falls. Just a few minutes down the path, after going across a wooden bridge, there are a couple of falls like this that are hidden by the vegetation next to the path. A small amount of climbing around is also required. With a little effort, this gem became visible and my prize subject this week. A nice gallery layout of this image can be found here.

Also, I was hiking with smugwimp. Please visit his site and leave a comment or two, or fave some of his photos.
