Beautiful shot and location! Reminds me a bit of North Ga.
Love the exposure and shutter speed on the falls. Silky smooth. Both sides, in mid and FG are great. Like the textures. Great job on capturing the highlights and shadows.
Only picky PP change I would make, darken the center BG just a slight bit, mostly to the left of that center tree.

Hi Dan! Nice capture of this beautiful place. Exposure looks good - the blown out area in the center whitewater on the regular view looks better on the larger version. I'm not sure about the comp. The centered placement of the falls makes the image feel a little static to me, despite the water flow. Several different crop options would help that. I agree about darkening the center background a little, and if there is any way to open up the shadows a bit to show some detail, that would be helpful also.

Really enjoy the natural lushness of the greens, and your perspective, which draws the eye far upstream. Don't know if is possible or if you think it warranted, but I might try and bring down the highlights in the falls, trying to get a bit of detail in the pure whites. A very minor suggestion as this is really nice as it stands.

Beautiful, Dan. I never get tired of Columbia RG waterfall images. Love the greenery in this one.

Nice capture of a beautiful little spot! I wouldn't have asked for the adjustments suggested above, but can't argue with them either.

Love it Dan. There's a lot of water out there now! I think the reds from fallen leaves are under-appreciated color in the gorge this time of year.
