Don !!! Really a Cool Image of this Waterfall. Works great in B&W. I really like the Tone and Movement in the water. The white streaks in the water really drew my attention. Very Cool. I love the Blue Ridge Mountains. I live a few hours from there.

An interesting waterfall image, Don. I usually think of waterfalls as cheerful and upbeat, but the black and white treatment and taking the darker tones to black gives this a rather somber feel to me that creates some nice tension.
