The Mist Trail, Yosemite. This 3 mile, steep grade trail was very punishing, not only did I have to climb over 2000 feet up the mountain, but also alongside two waterfalls with an insane amount of spray, making me soaked before reaching the top. I had to constantly put my camera back into my bag so that I could climb with free hands and not ruin it, but it was worth it in the end. I captured stunning shots, including this one, which depicts a river with Vernal Falls in the background. Using a long exposure, I was able to soften the water and show the mist. I then enhanced and stylized the image in Lightroom. In the end, I'm very proud of how it turned out.

The highlights are extremely blown out. Keep playing with post processing to tone it down. Looks like a well thought out composition.
Thanks for the feedback-- I'll definitely keep that in mind for next time
