Was going to use this for free study, but what the heck. I hadn't donned the dry suit in a while, but it worked like a charm. My feet, of course, aren't protected and were numb within a few seconds. All-in-all, I spent an hour in the creek. You cannot get to this fall on dry land and must ford up the river 1/3rd mile, sometimes up to your chest. Hadn't been up here for about two years.
I thought I'd plop myself in the picture as I'm trying for more of a human touch these days.
In case anybody notices the blur around the waterfall is a combo of mist in the air and on the lens. It wouldn't stay clear for long.

How beautiful! That was one of my favorite experiences ever -- hiking to that beautiful waterfall a few months ago. We knew nothing about it, so were quite surprised to realize we had to practically swim to get there. But worth every soaked and beat-up-feet second of it. Thanks for the memory :)
Okay, what we have here is a very pleasing shot with good tones and great movement in the water. You have connected it to the branch theme, but the literal voters may ding you (I did not). Overall its a great shot 7
Love the image. Wish the guy wasn't in the shot. I think because he is in blue, my eyes keep drawing his way. I am partial to waterfalls, so this image is really wonderful. Would love to be right there!
