Description Springbrook National Park - Natural Bridge - QLD, Australia.

This Natural Bridge is a naturally formed rock arch over Cave Creek. It was formed from a waterfall which undercut a cave beneath the waterfall and dug a pothole on top, until the two joined and the creek flowed through the cave, leaving an arch across the front.

The cave is home to a colony of glow worms which you can do a night tour through the cave. I'm yet to do that, gotta pick the right season.

About the photo:
I've always wanted a panorama of these falls ever since seeing Ken Duncan's [link]

6 image horizontal panorama stitch
3 underexposed, 3 overexposed
Tricky blending in PS to obtain complete shadow detail throughout.

Yep...i've had to do that plenty. Might want to try a diff program like ptgui where you can tell it the points to line up. Rock on!

We have a similar waterfall in Minnesota called Devil's Kettle Falls. I have a photo in my gallery but was unable to link it here.

I didn't see this while I was there...How could I have missed this!?!?DX
I went to Best of all look out point (I don't remember if this is the right name, I went to Australia years ago). I didn't get to see much, just clouds, clouds and clouds.
Then, again its better than over here if you look out you normally see buildings, buildings and more buildings...

I like the green mossy stones on the right side. The Watefal reminds me on a sunray, very beautiful. Too bad that the left stones are not full of moss. I donΒ΄t wanna critic around too much - but there are some unsharp parts especially on the right Top... But all in all great competition to K.D.

It was a mission to stitch this pano together, also blending the exposures. I think one of the layers was slightly off which made it soft in the right. I will re-work this one at a later date. Cheers
