This a just below the main falls. Not sure how much of this is consider "the waterfall", but to me this is just cascades in the creek.

I keep picturing Harrison Ford hanging from that log... :biggrin:

This is great Curtis. The red rock and emeral water makes a great color scheme. I've never been here and don't understand the scale. I can imagine that a stick is laying across an intimate landscape or a log across an enormous chasm. This is very close to a vertical pano.

Very nice shot considering the lighting conditions. However, I would like to see it with maybe half the exposure time to give the water a little more texture and eliminate the hot spots in the water. This might help define the scale better.

That is a neat little slot of water. I think I would maybe consider cropping down to where the very top bit of white/blue water is eliminated..

Thanks guys!

Craig, I have another shot that I'll post in the next day or two that is further down the canyon where I bumped the ISO to 400, and stopped down to f4 to maintain texture in the water. For this spot I would have had to blend, and I'm not quite that good with PS yet... :smile:

Ned, now that you mention it, I'm thinking of cropping it down even a bit further than that. I think My DOF runs out at about the top cascade.
