nice pics, very lush, nice satiny water from the low shutter, good lighting.
But.... I have a beef hah with that whole thing central North Carolinians try to pull on outsiders.... about how it is the perfect location centered equally close to the mountains and the shore.... yeah i fell for that.... when it is really equally far!
I mean Boston, MA to the NJ shore is less distance! And the Smokies are like NYC.... to Montreal!
anyway Beech Mtn looks like a very beautiful place.
I'm going against the crowd here, I know, but I like the original! The leaves in question don't protrude into the water space, and don't bother me a whit.
Lovely stream and little falls, Ed. The transparency in the fg water is wonderful!

Thanks for the critique, Simon. Hope you like the modified version better.

Very nice, Ed. It doesn't look like you could have gotten much lower without a snorkel.
Hi, Mike. Your comment about the snorkel made me laugh. I was very low. Had the tripod legs stretched to the limits. Thenks for the remarks.

Just looked on mine and it loaded pretty quick. Lovely picture, would be better without the leaves. Perfect exposure, etc. I really like the rock in the foreground.
I appreciate your comments, Paul. Have modified to remove the leaves.

Very nice. Love the composition, the saturation and the slow shutter.

very nice ed, the upper left corner movement bothers me a bit, but otherwise everything else looks very good!
Hi, Binh. Thanks, and I hope you like the adjustment.

Lovely little stream! The leaves in the ULC are a bit distracting, but I love the feeling I get from looking at this!
