Certainly not the best photograph I have ever taken, but definitely a hidden gem which has not yet been submitted.

To get to this waterfall you have to hike upstream over rocks, some bigger than cars, for about 30 minutes. The waterfall itself is a hidden gem.

This is my entry for the DPC Olympics IV - Team Canada - Week #4 - Go Snowmen!

Voted earlier coming back to leave comments. This must have been a really beautiful place to visit ...and take a nice swim. Very scenic and serene landscape. The long exposure that captures a smooth feathery flow to the waterfall adds a magical feel to the scenery. Very beautiful.

Beautiful and very relaxing. I can hear the falls in my mind looking at this.

Wow. Nice capture of the veil-like quality of the falls. Love those steep layered sides.

beautiful.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:55:19 PM
Good exposure and details. Is there a way to make the falls straight as this gives it a feeling of being tilted.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/15/2009 03:50:45 PM
Beautiful scene and captured really well. You froze the motion of the water perfectly creating a lovely flowing veil. 7

  Photographer found comment helpful.

Nice shot :) I wonder what this would be like if you exposed it longer (adjusting other settings to counteract it, of course). The waterfall is very nice.

a very beautiful scene .. so well balanced and so meditative .. love the natural curtain of the waterfall and the gorgeous patterns it forms as it goes over the rocks .. stunning .. :)

Way cool! Well done on all counts.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/13/2009 01:18:22 AM
Beautiful. Where is this? If it were my image, I might have used PS Distort to make the falls verticle ... but it's a lovely image as is and there's a certain symetry to it that straightening the falls would interrupt.

Like a veil, very beautiful, very peaceful.

Really lovely textures and colours. The water is beautiful too. I wish the texture of the stone surface was just a bit sharper.
  Photographer found comment helpful.
03/11/2009 02:36:14 AM
Lovely location.

The position of the falls is nice. The image seems to lack a little 'punch'.
