Found these nice sets of falls and tried to get images without falling in. Extremely slippery with little room and a lot of spray.
C&C welcome.

The large view shows all the beautiful detail and color within the rocks, perfect shutter speed and comp. Beautifully done Bill.

Beautiful cascade and perfect water capture on this one, Bill. I really like the entire perspective of the scene here. That little wisp of water flow on the right is excellent too.

The word slippery caught my eye in your comment, not for old guys like me to try by any means.

Bill, there is an amazing feel to this image for me. The sense of flow and motion is outstanding to my eye, and the log in the foreground makes for a perfect anchore to the composition. One of my top favorites so far.

I like the shutter speed here. Personally I think that if flowing water takes up a large percentage of an image it looks better with a faster shutter speed so the water looks more solid and has detail. I guess it's hard to describe, but you nailed it. Also like the rock just visible in the waterfall. It feels like an important part of the composition.

Crazy mix of water, and the exposer really highlights the motion perfectly. Excellent choice of shutter speed. The rocks appear that the shadows have been opened a little too much to me, taken in an HDR look, especially the more distant ones. The lighting looks pretty even, so maybe this wasn't the case. Mesmerizing flow.

Very nice Bill. I really like the green color in the rocks, and the little white lines in the close rock are a nice accent.

Great picture with some interesting details in the waterfalls! That green rock on the foreground for sure looks very slippery.

Very nice. I like the "silvery" appearance to the water and rocks. Nice comp and the shutter speed really conveys the movement well.

Wonderful natural "waterworks", and you nailed the shutter speed perfectly.

This is a beauty, Bill. Great choice on the SS and that section of water in the LRC is wonderful. I also like the fact that you included some of the surrounding forest at the top of the image.

Very nice movement and composition. The rocks are very interesting and the shutter speed looks right on for my taste.

Beautiful image Bill I like the shutter speed you chose here and I especially like the sweeping movement of the water in the foreground. Well done!

Beautiful comp of a great place. Certainly worth getting wet, and I bet you did, using a 10mm. lens! Excellent choice of shutter speed.

Hi Bill, This looks great! I'm really enjoying your comp here and just love the water motion. The water flowing across the foreground rock looks very cool!!
