Great shots! Nice composition and right-on exposure despite the tricky light. Love the contrast and the colors, too. What lens did you use? It's important to know for the gear heads among us.

Amazing...the colors in the falls is stunning; also the deep blacks of the tree trunk contrasting with the reflections on the water in shot number three. Before I go and Google "Pro Photo color space", could you give me a brief idea of what you are referring to. (Pretty please..)
The pictures are very beautiful. I do not understand why it (camera) is boring for you. Perhaps your money bag is too fat and want to shoot the same scene with a more expensive camera to make it look more beautiful, I am not too sure.
Just curious how you processed these, aside from Pro Photo. Were these all single images or are these HDRish? I ask because the contrast is so great in these but the exposures are spot on. Thanks and great series!

Very nice, however in the last one the reflection is not quite right. As a painter I know that creating reflections is very hard and in this case this one looks slightly off. Perhaps a more subtle treatment with an image editor so you still get the colour.
Very nice shots. Just because I was pondering the question of color space right this morning: My K20D offers Adobe RGB as the "biggest" color space, yet this is considerably smaller than ProPhoto RGB. Where should the additional color info come from that ProPhoto RGB could display? As far as I understand the problem and my pp software (Aperture 3.1 btw), the only color source could be my photo photo software. So the result will be an extra- oder interpolation of what AdobeRGB from the cam gives to me. Could you please explain this to me? Thanks.

When using RAW format there is no colour space, this is only assigned to the output format. So a RAW shot can be rendered in any colour space. If you shot jpeg and assigned a lower spec colour space e.g sRGB then you can't get any more colours by converting to a higher spec space e.g. AdobeRGB, just as you suggest.
Ahh I see. Because you are the photographer you have that information. As a viewer of the image I just see something doesn't add up. I got the reason wrong but it still effects the image the same.
By the way thanks for sharing your work I do like them very much.
Thank you snowboarder. I did some light research and came across this link (and posting it for the benefit of this community) that explains it quite well:
