Louis,

#2 is a really well done. a bit more contrast/ processing to take out the haze at the top of the photo would be even better. really a beautiful capture.

Not much of a waterfall person, I definitely like your 2nd version of #2, and #3.

A beautiful set of images, all very well seen and caught. I like the first one a lot too, a lovely intimate image.

I like all of these, Louis. (2nd version of #2 is nicer.) Do you have any of #2 with the top of the upper falls still in frame? Just curious.
I would go with the 1st as my fave, too.
Lovely work.

2nd shot is the best imo. I like the first one too however, I think it would look good if it was really blurry, like an abstract painting.

Nice going, Lewis. The close up of the upper falls I favor.

Especially on overcast days, for the green foliage I like to set a Hue/Sat adjustment, where the Yellow color's saturation is raised, then the Luminosity of that is also then raised to taste. It does punch up the yellows, but more so it enhances the green foliage (sat makes it richer, luminosity raised pulls back on the saturation while lightening).

Just a suggestion - see if you like what it can do (it's a subjective adjustment).

And while tight, I also like the depiction of both falls in the series.

I hope you don't mind sharing three other depictions - is this a faux pas here?

The 2nd one most exhibits the yellow tweak mentioned above):

Thank you everyone for your input. It seems like numbers 2 and 3 are the favorite, although a few people like Ute and Barry like the first one as well.

Barry, I do have some shots of the entire falls but they will take some more processing since the sky is blown out and doesn't look so good. I did bracket so I may be able to do some blends.

Bob, thanks for sharing your images here, they are pretty neat, and offer different views of the falls for people. Also, I appreciate your Hue/Sat tip, maybe I will try it out sometime. However, I increased the saturation in these images to taste in Lab mode, just to play around with it. Supposidly it offers more seperation between colors this way, although frankly I see little difference in normal usage.
