Love the colors, the nice light, and the comp, Ken. I personally might have preferred a faster ss for more textured, less milky water, but this is a beautiful intimate waterfall scene as is.

The fall colors and light make this image. The water draws the eye right through the image to the nice color in the background.

Awesome composition and I really like the balance of the yellow leaves, the green and the milky water. Maybe a little less time on the exposure but overall a wonderful image.

Nicely done! I think the long exposure on the water works really well here. Nice processing, too.

Such a lovely cascade and autumn scene, and nicely composed. One minor nit ... the dark horizontal log in the URHC catches my eye a little. I'd suggest either dodging it, or cloning it out completely.

Interesting and unusual for me to see the stream appear as it is emerging from the stand of aspen. Unique and really enticing to be able to hang in this location. :toast:

Very nice work, Ken. The comp is nicely done and the autumn color really adds to the scene. I would recommend brightening this image up just a little - it feels a little dark overall.

Perfect composition of a great scene. I'm in the "prefer a little more detail in the water" camp, and I might remove some blue from the water.

Really appreciate the feedback on this image. Yea, it does display here a quite a bit darker than the image really is. This area is unique in how the creek splits into many branches. And it is unusual on how it meanders through this aspen grove.
