Courthouse Falls in Autumn

Today I wasn't sure where I wanted to take photos. I contemplated several areas along the parkway, but eventually settled on a waterfall on the backside of Devils Courthouse. The hike all the way down was easy...right up until the last tenth of a mile, dropping down the side of a ridge, very steep, and not at all friendly. I climbed down, steep stairs and setup my camera along a huge fallen tree. I tried several focal lengths, and framing, finally I settled on this composition. I was originally going to shoot this at 1/10th of a second but wanted to experiment a bit more. So here it is.
