Sandy: I love the gorge and these old stone walls at the observation points. Makes me want to be there. >=))>

Classic shot of this waterfall Sandy. It is good to know some of the falls were not impacted by the fires this past summer.  I love the rich greens and yellow and the nice smooth flow of the water.

Nice classic scene, Sandy!  Yea, I remember taking this one as well and fighting the veg movement caused by the down draft of the water fall. I see on the edges you suffered the same fate. If you are comfortable with blending images, sometimes one can get away with shooting at a high shutter speed to stop the veg movement, then blend that with a lower shutter speed image. One can try to take just one image at a high shutter speed, but that also usually results in some added noise from high ISO. 
Cheers

Outstanding waterfall capture.  One of my favorites.  Love the setting, soft light and how your aperture and shutter speed created that silky smooth water.  So nice.

Nice shutter speed for the water. I like Ken's idea for the leaf motion.

Beautiful waterfall shot, Sandy.  I have never been to Oregon (on the bucket list) so this makes me want to go even more so.
