Okay, I'm not really pleased with the outcome of my shots. But not having an ND filter and never having shot waterfalls before; I guess I'll chalk it up as a learning experience. But out of approx. 200 photos these were the best ones. I did some light image processing (mainly hues, minor dodge & burn, and some USM). So I am not sure how much is a lack of the photo and how much is a lack of pos-processing. All I know is I have a lot to learn to get my shots to come out with the quality that many of my DPC friends shoot at.

(PS - Thanks for pointing the rainbow out to me in this last one.)
These shots are not photoshopped (except re-size/re-sharpen), this bizarre effect was achieved via the use of two polarizers. Not having an ND filter I was endeavoring to reduce the visible light by stacking my polarizers. On the last waterfall, when rotating one of the polarizers I noticed that I was getting strong color shifts and filtration. It created an interesting effect.
You know those Canon's take a licking and keep on ticking.... oh wait that's something else haha I have taken about 100 shots since the 'bounce' and everything is working fine. Not even a nick in the paint!
Shannon said he dropped his during his extended stay at the falls by the highway (before we took the falls trail). But he also claimed to have seen a bobcat at one point, and a hot babe modeling under one of the falls, so I'm learning to listen to him with a raised eyebrow :)
Scott took a little fall, possibly due to failing bionics, very near the end of our trek, and put a little bit of a ding in his lens.

I didn't get any of the magic brownies as I was too busy cooking. So I reserve one for the next PA GTG.
