Is this Multnomah Falls? Nice framing, but it looks a bit blurry to me.

Very nice. The rain and the wet fur really adds to the menacing look.

Wow, I didn't think I'd win, but I also didn't think I'd place so near the bottom. Oh well, next time...

Thanks everyone! This is one of my first challenges on DPReview.

Just a couple comments about the photo:

This was taken in JPEG and was very minimally edited. I bumped the contrast, slightly shifted the blue, vignetted a bit, and sharpened, and that's about it. It was not cropped, not HDRd, no other tricks.

I took a couple shots in landscape (horizontal), but there is a park on one side and a city on the other, that I felt distracted too much from the main point of the image. I took several shots and this was the best one.

Thanks again for all the comments!
