I took this shot of Havasu Falls in the Havasupai Indian Reservation of the Grand Canyon last May.  I got up about 3am to coincide with the light from the moon illuminating the canyon.  I chose to leave the shutter open for 3 minutes to gather enough light to see the in the shadows, as well as show the movement of the clouds and stars.  It is best viewed in the lightbox...

Lovely view Wade, very nice play of light and shade to enhance the rock texture and water action.

Cool idea, I think brightening the falls some would take this to the next level.
