Here is one from the good old days of film, Taken 2 months before I entered the Digital age with my 7D. This area has since been flooded by the breach of a dam and is currently closed to the public.

A shame you lost the falls but that is the march of progress.
Nice one!

Actually, the dam was a hydro-electric facility that failed due to poor maintenance, caused several hundred thousand $$$ in damages to the shut-ins state park and surrounding area

Nice water movement and the colour of the water compliments the rocks well. I might be tempted to crop a bit of the top (to the horizontal branch) and a bit off the bottom (the foreground water to the bottom of the falls), but then that's just my preference.

I agree with you on the cropping part, but it would have to be done in a non- traditional ratio, a lot of the feel of this image is lost if you crop either side, I wrestled with it a little before opting for full image prints, Since the neg has been scanned I may try some crops in different ratios to see if I can keep the feel with less clutter.

Perhaps if you kept the same aspect and just moved in a bit from the top right.

I think a 16:9 ratio from the center cropping out equal amounts top and bottom, or if needed more from the top, might work a charm.. Worth a try!
