Yes, I am aware the water has a very strong magenta color cast in this shot.

All were shot with a Nikon D90, 18-105mm NIKKOR, and a Hoya Polarizer and 8X ND filter stacked.

As someone who has been to this park a number of times in my life (living a couple of hours away) I'd say these photos are even more beautiful than the location itself!

Seems a bit oversaturated to me. And some tonemapping? cause they look a bit overprocessed to me.

Thanks!

No, I didn't use any HDR or tonemapping, just single exposures processed in LR3.

I think you need some sharpening, at least on the rocks, to bring out the texture. It looks a bit soft now.

Edit: Actually, forget it. I clicked on the photos and the flickr versions look much better.

Then vibrance/clarity sliders maxed?

^^^^^^^ This? The colors look wonky.

I've been there twice. The falls are very nice.

Nope, all of them have vibrance set to about 45ish.

It's a nice little area where you were but IMO most of them while very good could have been better if they weren't as busy, #3 looks better because there's less 'stuff' going on.

Nine and a half stops of filter is going to give you Highly saturated color all by itself. You might actually want to de-saturate a little to bring the colors closer to normal.
