Equipment Used:
Camera: Nikon D200

Pros/Cons:
I really like how this image shows the vegetation that surrounds the waterfall. I could have been a little more careful with the leaf placement in the foreground. The cloudy weather made for great even lighting throughout the scene.

The Story:
This image was taken on my first visit to the falls. It was very overcast allowing me to photograph waterfalls even in the afternoon. I wanted to show as much green around the falls as I could in at least one image so I came up with this shot.
