Need some help with this one

I took this shot with many different settings but every time the water came out far too bright, can anyone tell me what i did wrong here? i was using a tripod as well.

Looks like the manual settings used could not cope with the extremes of light and dark. There are two blown highlights at the top of the main waterfall and the rocks are under exposed. Both can be fixed in PS. If you would like to send me your e-mail address I cans end you a copy.

That would be great, I have photoshop elements 8 but no clue how to use it yet. Email address is [email protected]
I am going back to the same spot on my way home so I can have another go at it. Maybe try shutter or aperture priority mode this time.
