Nice image, Glenn, though it seems to me that perhaps it would look better if you had zoomed out a bit more, and maybe positioned the waterfall more to the right. When was this photo taken? I wonder what the dam looks like right now.
If you could open up the rock walls a bit with shadow adjustment to show more detail it might improve things. There looks like some interesting stuff on the other side of the waterfall that is hard to see.
Water could not be better. Both exposure and levels are great.
Glenn, I like the B&W conversion and the perspective. Lots of water coming across that dam.

Thanks for the comments. I took this April 6th after one of those floods came through and the flow had dropped considerably. I left the shadows in the rocks in an effort to prevent the rocks from competing with the water. Emphasis is placed on the water. I converted to BW because I like the tones and it gives the viewer something you don't see when you are there. Also, I wanted to fill the image with water. I have about, well, too many shots of this dam. I just can't resist it when I go down there. I have some where I zoomed out some. I just personally like this one better.
