Surprising how much I have improved my PS skills thanks to people like you. Will post this seperately as well.

I remember that I took this at dusk, and I think the aperature was F22 (as far as the lens would go). Didn't really matter, as long as I was in the hyperfocal distance to make everything nice and crisp. I tend to overdo the F-stop when I am worried about the hyperfocal distance in landscapes (landscapes with close and far objects).
The exposure was pretty long - I can tell you right now that it was over one second. Beyond one second the water blurs and has a nice smoky feel to it.
Two things to keep in mind: 1 second for rushing water to make it blur, and high F-stop for hyperfocal distance.
(Google on the hyperfocal distance if you need to learn what it is.)

Thanks Debashis. After trying a number of waterfall shots, I've found that any exposure of one second or more gives a really nice "smokey" blur to the water.
For the long exposure in this case I had to lie down on a bolder in the stream bed and push the camera into the rock for stability.
Ideally one would use a tripod, but I'm a bit weird and try to use natural props.
A darkening or polarizing filer can slow the camera enough for the blur, but the best time to shoot is morning, evening, or on rainy or overcast days.

Most people fail with waterfall shots, they capture motion that is stopped in time, but the reality we see is never that. A waterfall never stops, and you've captured the motion so well here.

This is the only other view of the falls, vertical format. I don't have a wider angle lens than 18 mm and the geography did not have a lot of options. The sky is washed out because it was taken at dusk and the waterfall was in the shadow of the setting sun. Bummer.
Unable to fly with my Bogen tripod, I was using mostly rocks and trees. In the first shot above I was using a bolder in the stream. This shot utlized another bolder. Ah well - make due with what I can.

A fine job, M. This might also work well in a vertical format which would include the treetops. motion blur is lovely.
