I had to do massive PP to get rid of the glare that was present. Here is a full scene of the falls. The other picture my camera was under the falls to the left. They falls are kind of a U shape. My other two boys informed me that they really want to see it, so I guess I am going to get another opportunity. I'll take your suggestions and see what I can do.
    You may want to visit this one after a rain or after it has rained for a couple days. It will be a totally different falls; there will be an established flow of water after the falls; and my guess is the flow will be spread out over more of the ledge in a full sheet. Then I think it would be more interesting with a better foreground. Since it is close to home, that should be easy to see what it looks like in different situations. Also, if you are in an area where it can ice up, that may be interesting as well.

    That's the tricky part...getting rain. Pretty dry here this time of year and I will look forward to spring for flows. This winter will definitely have some ice and I have heard it looks pretty interesting. Nebraska weather. I have viewed a couple photos from the spring time and the trees provide a good canopy for shade over the falls. Thanks again for all of the suggestions.
