Nice shot of our falls. Too bad it was not after a day of hard rain.

Thank you Don. It had been raining some the day before but I can only imagine how it would look after a hard rain.

Wonderfully crafted pics.... Perfect shutter speed to keep the water enough blurt...Pretty good editing as well.
Do you mind sharing Camera settings and editing process?
Thank you very much. The shutter speed ranged from 1 to 6 seconds. Most were shot at f10 while the last was at f9. Editing process involved blending in darker exposures using luminosity masks to recover highlights in parts of the water. It's very easy to blow out highlights. I applied targeted dodge/burn, ran through a few filters in Nik Color Efex, and applied a subtle Orton effect. The one thing I often struggle with is how vibrant the foliage should be. I don't want it looking nuclear green but also don't mind giving it a slight color boost.
Beautiful images, Alfredo. I especially like the first image, followed by the second. Great composition, exposure, and shutter speed for the water flow.
