A beautiful image Vern. I love waterfalls.

Great shot! I have been to the bottom of the falls a few times, years ago. If the trail is the same it starts down stream and angles down tward the falls. You end up about 30 yards down stream. It is steep but not dangerous.

Isn't Oregon lovely? We just went to the Proxy Falls ( upper and lower ) and got some nice shots of them. This is really pretty, Vern.

What a wonderful set of falls. Vern if you were their age you'd be down there with them I bet!

Wow, that sure is a big falls! Thanks for pointing out the guy in the pool.

Paul Milholland		25-Aug-2010 02:23
The thought that the white speck is a guy in a t-shirt certainly provides perspective. Wow!

Very nicely done Vern!

Beautiful capture, Vern

Ed Duverger		24-Aug-2010 19:39
Very impressive and that white spot gives an idea of the scale.

Barry Ailetcher		24-Aug-2010 16:45
well done image Vern

Ruth Voorhis		24-Aug-2010 16:32
Very well captured, Vern. A lovely image.

Laura Milholland		24-Aug-2010 15:25
Super job on this, Vern. What a lovely falls, and glad you pointed out the small person at the bottom to help with sense of scale.

Deborah		24-Aug-2010 15:12
I'm sure there is a well worn trail with a trailhead known to the teens. ")Looks like you tamed the light very well. Did you play with a Grad ND to help the hot spots?

Steve Thuman		24-Aug-2010 13:05
Quite an impressive falls and you captured it so well.

Tough exposure setting to get it to work, especially with the bright foreground. BUt, you nailed it!

A beautiful place Vern and a lovely shot.

Great shot Vern I like waterfalls they are natures wonders to me

Roger Bailey		24-Aug-2010 08:11
Great image, the small dot gives an idea of the size of the falls.

I love the view of the fall from here also from the top, looking over the railing. I have wanted to go all the way to the bottom of the falls but did not want to fall and get hurt like you said. Water falls are very hard to shot, they don't always turn out the way I want, I'm sure you had fun and thats all that matters vern!

Love waterfalls. Beautiful!

Mark Krauss		24-Aug-2010 05:45
Nicely done, Vern. Did you use a ND filter to slow things down? It really helps when shooting moving water!
