This waterfall is usually a raging high flow fall which somewhat prohibits getting any decent shots. However with the drought this year the flow is but a trickle compared to normal. These are taken with a 5D and 50mm F/1.4, and the last is a 7D 10-22mm F3.5-4.5 all are HDR's.

Wonderful photographs, Mike. The last shot of the falls reminds me of one that we have here in The Smokies.
Very nice.
Very nice set Mike. Really like that last one with the contrasting colours and the depth in it.
Very strong set!
Shots 2 and 4 are my faves here.
can you describe the PP here?
Nice HDR's for sure ... love the milky waters. Waterfalls do not have to be raging in order to be beautiful, as demonstrated here. As a matter of fact, from a "painting" point of view, this is more desirable, anyways. Great job.

Basically I underestimated how quickly I would loose light and had to get a move on. Converted RAWs to TIFFs in DPP so I could use Canons Digital Lens Optiizer, then used Topaz Labs De-Noise, then use Photomatix to created HDRs and tonemapped. Reopened TIFFs in Photoshop and used Topaz Labs Adjust 5 for a little extra pop. Because I liked #2 the most, I spent a little extra time and isolated the water and did a little desat in PS. If you notice the other images the water is a little 'muddy' presumably from the high iron content in the water which is accentuated with HDR.
