  Running "The Sinks" would require some experience...certainly fun to watch, but nothing I would do. Both are great shots!

  I live near the Smokies and people go rafting around here, but you really have to go up the river to see them, and only by boat. Not for me! You caught this great rafting shot. Congratulations on your POTD!

  Superb action capture, Randy!! Great timing to catch this guy at the perfect moment. And I love your wide angle HDR capture, too! Aside from being a lovely image, it really puts the difficulty of shooting the rapids in perspective (not for the faint of heart!) and provides great scale. Congratulations on an outstanding POTD!

Extreme Caution - Swift moving water contains strong down currents. Serious injuries have occurred.

Wow, thanks everyone for your comments. Very impressive the skill shown by these guys going over these rapids. As the sign at the edge of the falls states (which is a little blurry in the photo since I was in Servo mode): "Extreme Caution - Swift moving water contains strong down currents. Serious injuries have occurred." I was content to enjoy (and, of course, shoot :)!
