Reworked with NIK Silver Efex Pro 2 Best on black and full screen PIP: Color version Compiled from 5 portrait shots

This is a tricky to capture little waterfall in a ravine 10 miles from my home. There are only a few days every year to capture this in sunlight, because later in summer the dense foliage blocks the sunlight and in winter the sun is not high enough to get down to the ground of the ravine. And then there has to be some flow of course. This year I was lucky! Detail shots in PiPs

This panorama has been compiled from 72 portrait shots in two rows with Panarama Studio 2.6. EOS 70D with EF 70-200mm / f4L at 200 mm, f/9 - 1/400 - ISO 100, manual focus, 2 sec. timer, live view and tripod. The original jpg is 35.745 px wide and has about 100MB, this one is reduced to 20.000 px (and 40,4 MB). Stunning details, must view in full resolution, may take a while to load, however! I always wanted to shoot the valley in spring colors, something on my mind for years. This is my second attempt, I replaced the one taken yesterday because the sky was a bit clearer today.
