While driving in the SE, picking waypoints on my way home, I sought waterfalls in South Carolina (they are generally in the NW corner of the state). One was located in the city of Greenville, and I was impressed when I found Falls Park, right downtown. The park includes several groomed gardens, walkways, grassy areas, a small stage for music & plays... and a cool waterfall! There is a smaller cascade fall downstream, still in the park. This view is from a curving pedestrian bridge that crosses the river and overlooks the park.

Hey Bruce,
not the biggest fan of all the people....but it is a drivethrough.....so you did nicely composing it. I have explored a few possible crops......but i feel this presentation captures the area well and shows us the endless possibilities.....especially B4 sunrise.....as they wait to get up.

The people and the fences are not that nice in the pic, and i think it's not sharp anywhere either.

Hi Bruce, I agree with all of the comments above. I think that it would benefit from additional sharpening (unless it was not properly focused). Best would be to work much tighter and/or to get there pre-dawn. IAC, I would strive to create and image without the fences and without the people. EXP is good and the water dreamy.

I am in agreement with the other comments. Faced the same problem in Great Smoky Mtn. NP. Get there early and work the details as I am sure you know. If the sharpness is there, makes a great travel pic.
