That log has been there for at least ten years - I wonder how long it will last? These normally would not last that long out in the forest around here before rotting away, but I guess being constantly wet helps preserve the wood. I know the "swamp loggers" on TV get logs that have been underwater for 100 years, but those are probably cypress.
I know this is not a critique forum (that is done in the other forums here), but this one would look a lot better with the left side cropped out - a square format would be perfect for this view, just like the old Hassy's.

I am glad you made it over there. I really thought you might run out of time. I like your perspective. I think it is difficult to get a really good shot of this falls. I also think it is a slippery, tough hike up the creek bed. Anyway, I like your shot, the colors are great.
Some of the colors and the texture of the rocks look kind of weird on this shot - was this done with one of the plugins like topaz? I've seen a lot of other work that was done this way and they said that is what they used.

nope this one is not topazzed , nor hdr'd. i do think i overwarmed the colors and need to tone it down.
