Beautiful! Great composition!

I like it but I can see this is a difficult shot. The top of the falls is blown out but I wanted to see more of this area.
Time exposures can do that.

Yeah unfortunately the sun was in a very bad spot. It was around 4pm and it was shining right at the top of the falls. Next time I go I will definitely make sure to make it an early morning hike.

Here is a pic from another angle where you can see the Sun. I would have liked to have gotten an extremely close angle right under the falls with my 17-40mm but that group showed up (20+ people) and they looked like they were going to be a while so we decided to start the hike out.
