Your greens are great as per usual and the expsure and comp is also very nice. I feel that this may be a good candidate for local contrast enhancement in the water itself, especially on the mail fall, if you were to select it and USM a big radius like 40 pixels and then a low percent, maybe 20 or so, the fall might jump out a little bit more, I feel the low contrast on it right now doen't communicate the awesome power of sahalie.
Then again I've bever even tried to take a picture here, good work!

I'm curious how you managed to keep your lens dry?
A fellow umbrella toter?
Ah! Thanks for taking such good care of your 'Falls' fans, Ned. I was beginning to notice some withdrawal. You're definitely one of the best for these comps. I especially appreciate how well you were able to capture that elusive glacier green color in the water below the falls.

This is a departure from your usual stuff, Ned. But still, it's not.
The very uneven standing wave in the green water really does it for me here. It just screams raw power.
I'm always amazed at how still the vegitation is on the side on shots like this.
I wish there were a pinch more space on the right. I'd like to see the start of the flow of the white water in the foreground.
Great job,
Sean

Ned,
One of these days your going to post a nice falls shot. Just kidding of course. I think you chose a nice camera angle. Cool Shot!
I am continually impressed by your 'Falls' shots, but especially the foliage in them. This image is no exception. What is your secret for those crisp greens?
The exposure on the water couldn't be more perfect IMHO. Great dynamic range there from the blue-greens to the not-blown out whites.
Thanks for sharing,
-Brett

Ned, I may be way off here but this looks nothing like Sahalie Falls
if indeed it is, then I have to ask...how did you get down to the bottom....I only know of the little bridge on that dead end road......now my curiosity has been peaked....
on the other hand......this is a great shot....I love the mist coming off the water and the nice blue in the water....well done.....makes me want to go shoot waterfalls tonight!!!
