Nice views and framing!
Two of them are seeing the trees on the left looking a bit over-exposed/washed out - have you tried any post-processing (especially of RAW Format versions) to try and get the dynamic range under control?

Yeah, i’m still learning darktable so some of these images may still come out looking a bit odd on the post processing. I’m likely to go back through each of the ones i already uploaded to flickr and reupload better processed ones now that I’m getting a better handle on the software, because there are some that I feel already look much better after a second pass.
As for the over-exposure on these, yeah I got a newer lens over the winter and when I got there I realized I never got any ND filters for it so I was just dealing with the sun. I tried playing with the images but found that I could never find anything that made me happy, and I didn’t think the original image was good enough to dig too deep into it if I’m being honest. The waterfall itself is doing all the heavy lifting on that one haha.
Long story short, the processing should improve over time but I thank you very much for the advice.
Very nice pictures. We used to sometimes drive up there even earlier in the year and the ice cone around the base of the falls would be complete so it would just look like the falls were dumping into the top of a big cup of ice.
Green mountain lookout in the park also has some nice views. And if you're up for a bit of a hike, the trophy mountain/meadows trail leads up to a nice alpine meadow that can be absolutely stuffed with wildflowers if you can get up there at the right time of year.

Thanks! Those are some good photos as well! Yeah, I considered doing green mtn lookout as I was passing through, but ended up not doing it. Think I was more interested in getting a shower in clearwater at that point or something haha, maybe next time. Pretty sure that road to Trophy mtn was still closed at the time but it also sounded like a good one.
