lol. It's limitations such as these that make nature photography so very hard and i truly appreciate nature photographs that are perfection. They don't come about easily. What i can conclude then is that this shot was untakenable (unless one has a death wish) in-camera. Since the image is really fine, i would have no qualms to save it by doing some darkroom editing. All the detail seem to be in it so it shouldn't be hard. You need that left rock to frame the fall but, at least to me, the darkness of the rock overpowers.

Have you seen this? //www.wacom.com/tips/tip.cfm?ID=62&STEP=1&category=Photoshop

That is a handy non-destructive way to d&b. Besides, i have gotten lots of good PS tips from that site, forgot to visit it recently so i missed the above handy tip until someone posted it this afternoon.

Haven't tried dodging, but my ideal spot would be just below where i am standing, where i am about 3-4 feet from a 20 ft DROP :) I was too chicken to move closer to eliminate the left rock elements.

The problem i have with this image is the dark rock on the left. It's so dark compared to the water that it reads like a hole (even on the thumbnail) and its sharp edge doesn't help either. It just doesn't belong with the tonality of the rest of the image The waterfall is excellent (good exposure!!) and is reminiscent of Chinese paintings. The part on the right is good too. If you would dodge the dark rock, this would be an excellent nature shot.
