A powerful rendition of these falls, the combining in HDR also give a good quality to the water.
Have you been to or taken any of Athabasca falls - I remember them and the sense of power even when they were mostly frozen.

Beautiful work Jim.

This is awesome. Knowing some of the physical and technical aspects of the shot make it even more impressive.

Amazing work, Jim. Thanks for the explanation! This is
quite wonderful to see!

Thank you, Hal and MIchael! This was a very tricky set of fall so photograph. First off, it is indeed a three image HDR composite. Secondly. I used my alternate tripod to capture these images. Which means I used a tripod with an articulate center column that allowed me to extend it over the railing and into the "danger zone" to compose this set if shots. I had to secure the base of the tripod to keep it from tumbling over the edge and into the river. Which is why I carry this tripod with me!

You've captured more than the falls, Jim.
The power and movement and even the sound in this photo are incredible.
And even a good lesson in toting a tripos around :)
