very beautiful! I love how you've captured the whole falls, and not just the top :) It makes me feel like I'm standing in your spot!

What a gorgeous place! All those tiers of water, little ledges and layers of rock ... it's beautiful.

A brilliant long exposure shot Bruce with wonderful colours in the surrounding foliage. Your composition makes me feel as if I'm about to fall in the water in the foreground, which is fantastic as I get a real sense of being stood there myself :-) xxx

Excellent! Looks like a great place to hang! Good use of long exposure for the silky smooth water effect!

I would have thought these rock steps were manmade they are so well done but learning mother nature did it is very special. What a fabulous exposure used to bring out the appeal of the water.

Excellent image Bruce! Your shutter speed was spot on to capture the movement of the water so perfectly! Bravo! :)

A georgeous capture, and dragging the shutter a little longer to get the soft feel of the water is perfect! Very nice angle and camera placement as well. Just out of curiosity, do you use the camera's built in metering or do you use an external light meter?

WOW! Beautiful shot...water,at first look,appeared to be postworked. Read the comments,and now understand how you accomplished the effect. Have been playing around with my camera with long exposure sots (night time)but have not gotten anything worth uploading yet. Great inspirational work...will keep trying, myself.
