I finally made up to the falls and I've never seen that much water flowing over them. If you know where they are you need to get up there. All feedback is welcome and appreciated.

That is some great flow and all of the comps are well done. I like your choice of shutter speeds as well for catching the flow of the water. Well done.

Really like the light bouncing off the rocks in #3.

Very nice...really different looks than I've seen before!

Thanks for the comments, Morris, the comps are pretty limited right because of so much water. I'm really curious to see what TC comes back with. I have to say I started questioning my sanity while climbing down to these falls at 4:30 in the morning.

I like #1 a lot because of the great composition, and #3 for the dappled lighting. I think you could crop the bottom up an inch and a half or so (the area where there are no rocks touching the right side).
#2 would have been right up there in my book had the sun not shone on the water.
Anyway, this is a beautiful waterfall and you did a great job in capturing it!
