Smoky Mountain Waterfall

This small waterfall is in a creek close to my sister’s house in Waynesville, North Carolina. I walked with my camera a few days when I was visiting there last month and photographed things that I found, like this.

Barbara, this is a good looking location (cool and inviting) with that long fallen tree and the rocky step falls. I think this would be stronger if you cropped off the left third, making it a 4x5. That would emphasize the stream and falling water more. Did you try a vertical, depending on what below, that might have worked well also.
