Lee,

Beautiful falls, Lee! The highlights on the waterfall are a little blow out, and I think the water has a light cyan color cast to it. I would selectively choose the cyan color range and desaturate it a bit.

Thanks for your picks Randy, that helps. Thank you Mahesh, I will play with the cyan to desat that and also try to fix the blow outs - most of these are at 8-10s exposures, kind of hard not to get blow outs with that.

Appreciate your comments and suggestions, very helpful.

Also, for the most part, if you can get exposure times down to about 2 seconds for a waterfall it is going to produce the effect you want here. Anything more is going to affect the charge loading of the sensor, unless it is really dark, and you need the 8-10 seconds to equally expose everything. I somtimes go so far as to underexpose when shooting falls, so I can bring the scene up (contrast and exposure) without blowing the water out. When I say underexpose, don't clip the shadows though.
