Well, this is my first attempt at using Photoshop. I can't figure out how to take care of the blown out water in the bottom of the falls. It doesn't look as good on my laptop as it did on my desktop. Anyway, I hope you like it. More info about the photo- It was pouring down rain. I took about 9 images of the same shot using a different exposure time for each. I merged 7 of them in Photoshop and this was the result. This was my first attempt and a learn as I go attempt at that. I know about the other tools. I just don't know where to find them or how to use them. I finally gave up and went to bed. I have Photoshop CS5 if anyone has helps or tutorials, I'd love it. Thanks for the helpful comments.

Sheri
It looks very good to me! The water looks a tab bit overexposed but not bad at all. Great place to take pictures!

Last night I lay in bed looking up at the stars in the sky and I thought to myself, where the heck is the ceiling.

It's a good image Sheri...Did you use a ND filter?..These take most of the glare away..Also if it was sunny it would give blown highlights..The dodge tool in PS,would remove a lot of it also..When i do waterfalls,I keep my shutter speed down to 1/8 and f15.This leaves a little detail in the water and curbs most of the highlights..Good picture though...R.

A pretty face is fine but what a farmer needs is a woman that can carry a pig under each arm

Cameras are like people--sometimes they lose focus.

I think you got some very good advise from Biffobear/Richie.
Aside from the blown out parts I think itīs a very good photo.
I like the composition and the mossy stones look wonderful.
