Marty- What a thrill it must have been to come across this gorgeous and exciting waterfall.Im with Maria, its as it you can hear the rush of water. Beautiful composition that lets us see part of the river it flows into and I love the depth and panoramic view of the beautiful area. The fall colors just add so much to the gorgeous sight. Stunning work my friend.
Have a great day. #8982787

Thank you all so much. You're right, the overcast sky really helped when exposing for the rushing water. The wind, however, was NOT on our side, often requiring a higher ISO setting to keep the dof provided by the smaller aperture. My buddy Dave got a nice shot of the sunny restaurant. #8983105

Marcel J. Fernandez October 19, 2010

A WOW shot all the way. Thanks, Marty for sharing this beautiful place with me. #8983441

Val Feldman level-deluxe October 19, 2010

Oh, this I would have loved to see! I haven't seen a good-sized waterfall yet and I feel Father Time nipping away at my heels (for an old guy, he can shuffle along pretty fast!) :) :) Wonderful, wonderful, Marty - gorgeous capture of a beautifully veiled and wonderfully framed waterfall - great work on bringing out all that superb texture on the rocky gorge walls. #8983553

Thanks, Marcel, Val and Dianna. Your comments are always taken to heart, so you are all with me for each release of the shutter. #9027791
