Like Ned's shot, with some friendly ferns. I always like some foliage around the water, although I did clone some distracting branches away. Ned and I were joking that we should bring some pruners along to "garden" before the shot. You guys should see my backyard garden
I remember seeing a really nice, black slug on a fern leaf in the LRC. I guess I didn't get him in the frame. That would've been neat to have, too.
Anyway, tell me what you think. I'm torn though with super smooth water or stop-action or inbetween. The water was moving really fast and blurred really easily, but I'm now kind of liking a less milky look these days. How does this work for you?
Kevin, this works very well. I like how you filled the hole to the right of the falls with the foliage (and removed the log). The foreground ferns are a great touch. I like the shutter speed as well.

I love it, I'll have to check this spot out next time I'm up there.
This is a great shot, Kevin. Last summer/spring year there was nothing but dirt at this spot! Those ferns make the foreground sing. I usually like this falls smooth and milky to empahsize it's lovely curves, but it looks really good to me now with this shutter speed and the ferns frozen into place.

Thanks all! Ned and I definitely felt the zen-like shooting.
