I echo what everyone already said, it's a most wonderful capture. If I where to change anything it would be just one thing, would clone out the rock peaking out of the bottom left corner of the frame or crop it out.

Lovely Sharon! I really want to try this myself, especially after seeing what a great job you did in getting this shot. The colors look really good - did you have to do much PP? And what luck the young boy sat still for 4s!CJ

Thanks. Mary Anne and Neo! This was my first serious attempt at catching a falls like this. I had the help of another photographer who shots many falls and I learned a lot. I was very happy when the young man who wandered into my shot actually stopped moving long enough to make this long exposure work! He looks like a ghost in the other shots, an interesting effect too! ~Sharon

This is my favorite of the three, Sharon, although the other two certainly do present the falls from a different perspective. I'm impressed with your pure whites here, as shots of this type tend to take on a green cast from the shade of the overhanging trees.

Nice shot! I love waterfall photos, but I have never been able to capture them this well. The boy in the lower left is a perfect addition for giving some size perspective.
