Kathleen and I made a road trip to western Colorado and Moab, Utah a couple of week ago. The photo here is from the base Rifle Falls, showing the flow from one of three falls at the site.

I just updated our BLOG to contain a narrative and photographs from our trip.

Nice closeup of the falls here. Wondering if you were able to get a slower shutter speed?
I think you could easily crop two inches off of the right side to just exclude the small rivulets lower right center.
Almost all of the beauty is on the left, IMO. This would almost make a square crop which isn't so bad in itself.

Thanks for the comments John: I used F:8.0 the get the best detail in the photo and did not have a ND filter with me. I kind of like the water to show the flow patterns that look like real water. Your crop idea is a good one, I guess I was caught up in all the great detail in the photo and did not want to give any of it up, You should see this image full size (link below) ;O)>.
