The above image is a single image Psuedo HDR processed in Photomatix Pro. I then applied a very faint amount of Topaz Simplify. For the original capture I used a circular polarizer and my 5D, 6 sec at f/22, ISO 100, 40mm, Tripod mounted.

    Intriguingly beautiful. I urge everyone to check out the large version. Looks like a painting by an Old Master.

    Thank you Artie and thank you for urging me to take a small slice off the bottom :)

    Wow! I love it. Nothing like cotton candy water contrasting with colored leaves. Great composition, too, of course.

    Did you take the photo this year? I know it’s fairly far north in Pennsylvania, but we’re just beginning to get decent color in southeastern Michigan. Also — in hopes of passing close enough to stop there during a future trip eastward — I googled the park and saw comments from several people that it’s closed until 2012. Of course, we might not get there until then …

    Thank you Dennis, I took this image last year. There are several different angles for this one, none of which required getting in the water. I heard it was closed until 2012 also.

    After looking again, I have another question. Did you have to wade out into the water to get that shot?

    Dennis, It required a short walk down to the bottom area of the falls, no water crossing or wading required :)

    Now, this is very pretty and I love how you processed. It has a very dreamy look to it.

    Hi Nancy, good to hear from you. Thank you kindly :)

    Great image Denise, the water looks like spun silk.

    Hi Richard, Thank you kindly!

    Denise, that is one beautiful waterfall and your processing of it is awesome. I went to two waterfalls today for fall color and got thoroughly soaked in the rain doing so. Neither were as nice as this one. What a treat to get home from a miserable wet, rainy day to see this beauty!

    Thank you Andrew, coming from a waterfall expert I will take that as a huge compliment :)

    Hi Denise, Very nice work on the waterfall. I agree about viewing the larger image – looks even better!! I like that park, and many of the others in the area.

    Scott, thanks so much. I am looking forward to the Skyline workshop in a couple of days!!

    Hi Denise, Beautiful shot of these falls. I was there once last summer but there were a ton of kids swimming in all the pools. Planned on going back in the fall but never made it. Maybe next year.

    Ken, Welcome to my blog, thank you for stopping by, I appreciate it. Just check to see if they are open again before going.
