Took this shot during a recent hike to Uvas canyon county park, the waterfall loop hike is about a mile and full of wonderful small waterfalls and beautiful moss covered rocks and trees. The hike is pretty mild but has some elevation gain and pretty strenuous four out of shape people like me. Even though I was out of breath and little miserable due to the pouring rain I really enjoyed the trek and the beautiful falls all around.

Uvas Canyon in central California is a great spot for a short hike, especially if you are interested in waterfalls. It has a lot of small easy to access waterfalls on the aptly named waterfall hike. Granuja falls is not the biggest waterfall on the trail but arguably the most photogenic. I tried various compositions at this waterfall, focusing on numerous elements of the waterfall.
For this shot, I included the ni canyon created by the creek and how the gorgeous light was showcasing the moss growing on the canyon wall. The scene was not as dark as depicted here, but I cut the reflected light on the water and slick rock surface using a polarizing filter. The polarizer also helped in removing the reflection from the leaves, making the green pop.
