This is the HIGHEST waterfall of The Netherlands, located in Loenen near the city Apeldoorn. It consists of three such little waterfall steps (you see above one and a half step). And it's more weird if you know that this one is made artificially. It took me a while before I found it because it's a bit hidden in a forest near the village Loenen. Though I just had to follow a very very small river (or perhaps it's a micro canal) till I saw this disappointing huge waterfall

TECH-INFO: luckily I had my tripod and cable release with me. Due to the rather high contrast I took 5 JPG shots which I merged into a HDR file. Of course, I did all possible DxO lens corrections. During tone mapping, with Photomatrix Pro, the HDR file I went for a look revealing maximum amount of details instead of keeping it looking very natural. Afterwards in Photoshop I used eight masked adjustment layers for tweaking colors and contrasts in several places.

EXTRA: for those who are interested, here is a link to the image with the middle exposure which came straight from the camera, so before any lens corrections or straightening lines. Here is the version after tone-mapping and before final enhancements in Photoshop. These images will be removed in the near future. It gives you a change to see what is modified.
