The grass makes this even more special than the typical falls photograph, compared to other types of vegetation or absence as is more common. The lushness and detail terrific. Now having photographed falls myself, this also accentuates the difficulty in choosing a shutter speed for the effect one is looking for. In this case, there are differing portions of the falls that seem to travel at differing speeds. So, you have a range of water effects captured on film here. I can't judge what conditions go with the scene i am standing in front of. Yours a very nice photograph. And, i notice all these are with the P67 - i am thinking this is a significant demonstration of that camera and lens. Love these photographs, Peter! You capture the significant attributes of every place you are in. It is a treasure for all, i feel.
 
Thanks Michael ! It is hard to guess the proportions of this watefall, except for the vegetation. These runoffs exist only during the peak of the rainy season, so that vegetation can grow on the creek bed during the rest of the year.
I try to find the right shutter speed for every running water image, so that water looks like water. Too fast and the movement looks frozen like those fake acrylic splashes; too slow and it looks like ... mucus ??? I took a few of this little fall and it required about 1/60 sec. to freeze and still look like wate
