My wife had a conference in Portsmouth NH two weeks ago, so we decided to go early and spend a couple of days wandering the White Mountains.  That roaming got us to Sabbaday Falls on a Saturday afternoon, which meant that it was very busy, with lots of folks viewing the falls and playing in the pool at the base of the falls.  Here's my version of the top step of the falls, taken from the boardwalk.  It's fun to compare this with the view of the same area posted earlier by Michael Lowe here.  Michael climbed the fence and was most likely standing on the rock ledge that you see here near the lower right corner.  This is a two shot combination to hold the details in the splash and in the shaded rocks.  (5D3, 24-105 F4 IS II @ 70 mm, 1/10 s & 1/40 s, f/16, iso 200, tripod and polarizer)

Mark, this is a really sweet waterfall. Although the light is fairly strong and might have benefited a bit from some golden hour time, the composition makes up for it. One would not pass up an opportunity to photograph this view during any daylight. I like this one a lot.......laugh

Glad you were able to get into the mountains, Mark.  That's a really nice angle you found on this beautiful waterfall.  Bright light often presents a challenge with waterfalls, but you met the challenge admirably.  A benefit from this light that I really like is the way the reflected sunlight illuminates the underside of the rocks.  I think that makes this shot unique.

The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the composer; but when the last individual of a race of living beings breathes no more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be again. William Beebe, 1906
