Nice image, Tim. You did a good job with a difficult exposure situation. I'd like a shorter shutter speed to pick up a little more detail in the lower water, but that's a personal choice. Also, I know shutter speed is often dictated in these situations by filter and DOF needs. It does feel a little truncated at the top to me, but I bet you had a good reason for not including more. Finally, looks a wee bit soft to me--maybe a touch more USM?

Technically pretty flawless and a very nice scene. A smal crop on top has been mentioned and is worth consideration. Other than that no nits.

Nice shot. Agree w/Harvey about a small crop to the top to remove the bright highlight.

A very nice shot. I love blurred waterfall shots but it may be a bit too blurred for my taste. 1/4 second usually gives it the blur I like best but realize that is very much personal preference.

Tim, I'm a sucker for flowing water and colored leaves, and this is really appealing. You might try to tone down the hot spot at the top.

Thanks for the comments.

Lori- it is cropped off on the top a bit more than I'd like due to the hot yellow leaves up there. Yes, more USM is needed.
