Just started printing one of my negatives from Italy. This is Ilford Delta 8x10 EI50 printed at old Agfa Variable Contrast paper, Grade 3. I think the grass after the immediate foreground needs a bit more exposure, else the photo is good in my mind. I have also misplaced my contact frame, so some areas of the photo is not completely sharp. This is a photo from my phone, so the quality is like not viewing it in person.

Beautiful composition
I recently continued my quest to get all the major waterfalls in the Smoky Mountains on large format. This past weekend I made the hike to Ramsey Cascades. This beautiful waterfall is actually the highest falls in the park. You've got to earn it though as it's at the end of a fairly brutal hike. It starts easy but gets harder and harder as you go. It's a fairly interesting hike though as you pass through an old forest that contains trees supposedly more than 500 years old.
I really feel that I earned this image. I unexpectedly got rained on while I was focusing the camera. I quickly covered it with my dark cloth and waited out a 45 minute shower. I also had my first bear encounter; surprising only in that it hasn't happened sooner. It was about 50 feet away and fairly large as black bears go. It froze once I yelled at it, and I continued on my way (the photographer in me REALLY wanted to stick around and get at least a cell phone pic!). Finally, I bit it HARD hiking back. After the rain the rocks were of course slick and I was being careful...but not careful enough apparently. As I was going down, all I could think of was "Don't land on the camera gear!" Thankfully I was able to slightly spin and my left arm took the entire fall...gear stayed safe and appendages will heal!
This was shot on 4x5 Ilford Delta 100, 90mm Fujinon lens at f/16 and 1/4s. Developed using Ilfosol-3 in BTZS tubes. Epson V700 scanned.
Outstanding!
Well done, Alan. I particularly enjoy the tones and textures in the rocks. Well worth the effort.
