Thank you all for the nice comments. :)
Great Falls is even more incredible in person, esspecially at this time of day. This picture only shows the side of the falls nearest to Maryland. There is at least this much more to the left of the picture, maybe double this. Also it looks different every time you go. The Potomac has a wildly variable water level along this part of the river. The water was pretty low on this particular evening. Last fall almost all of those rocks were under water.

Spectacular viewpoint and composition! Wondeful light! Thanks for capturing it so beautifully. I love to visit the Falls, but have only been to the Virginia side so far. Obviously I've been missing the other half of this natural wonder on the Maryland side.

The effect of the water is terrific. Did you use an x6 ND filter?

No filters, just an absolutely incredible sunset. The sky was on fire. It was beautiful.

Very unusual, fine colors on this sunset. The water is greatly captured and of course the bird a plus.
