Very nice Ned, but I would crop the bottom rocks for sure.

I love the shot. So crisp and soft at the same time. Nice soft light.

Great shot Ned,

I like the perspective you captured for these falls with each of the levels on a diagonal from the upper left to the lower right. It creates a dynamic feel through the image. On my laptop screen, the water looks a little 'hot in spots', but I am sure on a calibrated screen it is just fine.

You didn't mention using a polarizer, if you did not, do you think using one might provide a little more depth in the foreground pool?

Best regards,
-Brett

Polarized - yes... thanks for your comments.. I took about 400 images or so this last weekend to sort through - will try to post some more this week.

This is awesome Ned. The color, the differing water textures, etc... Wow. As always, you bring out the unique personality of the falls. Thanks for sharing it.
