    From a morning trip to the Falls at Patterson NJ with a few friends. This was a 9 frame HDR which I used 7 frames for. Threw out the first and last as they were too dark and light.
    Merged in HDR EFEX Pro and tweeked in CS5

    200 ISO
    D3 with 24/70 F2.8

    That's a neat perspective... HDR certainly has brought it to life! Excellent processing. I like the slow effect of the cascade although the shadow is bit distracting; not much you can do about it. I probably would crop a bit from the top, if it were mine. TFS.

    Joe,

    Very few people realize that the second largest falls in the US after Niagara (in terms of volume - can that be true?) is in Patterson, NJ! (I think I remember that correctly). I only visited the Falls at Patterson once almost 40 years ago...

    Nice perspective.

    Joe, nice HDR work and the perspective is interesting. I might crop just a bit from the top also.

    Nice image and application, Joe.

    Nice HDR work. I might have tried to get the pool, if there is one. But nice as is.

    Joe, Nice view and processing. I like the unique comp with the tree in the middle. I might tone down a little of the sunny areas if it were mine.

    Interesting perspective and admit to not being a big fan of many highly processed HDR shots, but this one does not look over the top, a lot more natural so nicely done i feel

    Joe, I'm late to the party...I like the image a lot. The processing was nicely handled; Denise makes a good suggestion regarding toning down the brighter areas in the image...very strong composition; there's a lot to draw the eye in and out of the image without giving the impression of being too busy. Nicely Done!
