Water Photographs; Stop the motion or blur it?

Vortex, Shoshone Falls

Normally I like to blur my photos of running water, but on this occasion I changed my mind. The water flow was so high that blurring the motion of the water going over the falls caused the whole image to look mushy. With streams and waterfalls I prefer a lower flow rate as that will create a nice ribbon effect with the bands of water. When slowing the shutter down with this much flow, the ribbons of detail disappear and everything becomes white. With this in mind, I decided to speed up the shutter and freeze the motion of the water as it went over the edge. I thought it was an interesting perspective, one that I have not seen before.
