Thanks Don. The non HDR version looks much better.
The place is 15 minutes from my house. It's part of the Cherokee National forest. The river is the Ocoee. It's on HWY-64 that runs along the river. There is a road that goes to the top of the mountain..
It is the same river and area where I take my white water rafting shots. You should come by one weekend and I'll give you a tour.
