I like too much the contrast between the dark rocks and the white water ... the red and orange leaves is too beautifull too .... perfect photo.

Ken, I too love this picture. The composition is great as is the exposure. Having visited numerous falls deep in the woods, you have certainly captured the essense of being there and that's what it's all about, right? Donna

Nice use of your 20mm.

really high quality image. composition is particularly outstanding. could a half stop more given a touch more detail? if you recall your exposure technique, i would appreciate hearing about it.

Thanks for all the responses so far. Don't remember much more about the exposure other than incident-metered and used about 1 sec or so shutter speed. I haven't found a lab that can print this without compressing the contrast or greatly increasing the contrast (including Slideprinters and Holland). Just one of those unprintable ones...
