I wasn't too pleased with this photo either. I'd like to try a shorter exposure earlier in the day. There wasn't much light left by the time I shot it. The picture had a bad color cast; I blew the highlights trying to get rid of it and brighten up the picture.
By the way, in the summer the falls is still pretty, but the water level in the streambed is low enough that there's plenty of places to set up a tripod.
