Thanks everyone. The falls are 1.5 hours north of home. We went to the area to check out possible retirement neighborhoods. I braced the camera against the wall of the bridge that spans the falls.

Thinking further, a longer exposure very well might completely burn out the whites that have pretty well held up here.

I probably also would have gone for a longer exposure time; however, this was probably shot hand held and for that, this is very well done.

I like this quite a bit....the leafs off to the top right are a nice touch.

I suspect that Charlie could shoot this again if it was near his home...or, if handheld, this might have been able to be taken down to 1/8th a second using a rock or a tree as a steadying base...this is good, Mr. Beck is seeing...which is the point.

Some of us are more open to experimenting...and shooting lots of frames....lol...than others.

This is pretty nice as I look at it again...not perfect, but good.

Best Wishes, Traveller

You know me, I would had run the exposure time to several seconds. But that's just me. Very nice scene. Paul
