Astonishing location! Nice shot! My only suggestion is go back on an heavily overcast day or as the sun dips below the horizon to get the soft light (shot with polarizer). What a winner!
Wonderful shot. Too often people feel they need to shoot every waterfall with a long exposure heavenly blur. But this perfectly captures the mood. I do think shooting it during softer light would really set this image apart as Mark mentioned.

We are currently in Washington for a couple weeks of shooting. God willing, we plan on swinging back through here on our return trip. I would like to hang out here for a couple days and shoot it morning & evening... Thank you; Jim

Thanks Andy. I was going to Blur the water but felt it needed to project the feeling of power, not tranquility. I am glad you like it... Jim
That is a tough place to shoot as later on when the light is supposed to be sweeter it gets full of shadows as well, so you did the best you could. I would have loved to have seen a bit more of the rainbow (wider) but it is a magical place to be for sure. The area over (South) of the Hwy 93 bridge shooting West is pretty sweet as well. Don't mean to hijack your thread but wanted you to see what you may have missed (or anyone that visits this spot). http://www.pbase.com/traveler/image/103553322/large.jpg
I like that you included the rainbow on the shot. It adds interest and helps balance your comp.
I have struggled with my own 'rainbow' shots. Usually against waterfalls, it stars appearing at a harsher light and polarizers will lessen its effect. It's definitely something we have to compromise.
