It looks like it could well be worth the effort. Nice capture Ron, I would zoom in a little more to make the fish a little bigger and I like your idea of including more of the water fall.

That was my thinking - having a bit more of the falls as a background. I hadn't though about looking down from the falls - I may have to scope that out to see if it is an option. Thanks Jeff!

Maybe put it out on a support? How about putting the camera just outside of the falls pointing down towards the jumping fish?

Too many hotspots. I'd like to see another from farther left looking back a bit at the waterfall 9if it's possible). Enough to still hold a bit of a broadside anghle to the fish, but more into the waterfall..... So who's watching for bears while your doing all this? :)) Hi Ron – I like this angle, but I agree, an overcast day is your best bet I think. Too many hotspots.

Hi ttnewton - That is a great thought! Unfortunately, trees beyond those alders further block the mountains, but that would be the benefit of a wide-angle - capturing more of the scenery. Thanks!

This picture says "salmon jumping in a waterfall" (better than I'll ever be able to say it) but I'd like better "salmon jumping in a waterfall in the Alaska wilderness".
