Hi Silke,
I like the lighting here and the gull flying into the frame adds a lot of interest, we are thinking of visiting Canada in 2010 and this will be on my list of places to visit.
Nice work as always

Hello my friend,

The birds are the messengers to lead us on the journey to the LIGHT!
An exceptionally dramatic shot with the sky, the birds, the water and the misty buildings all playing an integral part.
Good pp work!

Bonjour Silke
Very special light with half of the sun visible in the very middle of the frame. Splendid silhouetted skyline and rough water at the edge of the fall. Goop PP work with that gull.
Bravo

Hi Silke
The sky is the most impressive element in my opinion although the raging water is right in there. You girls had a wonderful adventure at the Falls. I'm sure the men had a good time just being in your (and Linda) company.

Been away for a few days and I'm catching up.

Hi Silke,
I came back and I saw that I missed a lot a superb photos this last week!
This one is a true success! I recognize the POV and your addition of bird over the frame gives a real 3D impact. Excellent work on the colors too, especially on the waves!
Congratulations! Annie

• Dot (12240)

Hi Silke
The sunlight hitting that water, the mist from the falls, the coulded sky, are absolutely superb combined together.The birds who look like they are on a suicide mission really add to the charm of this shot.
Bravo

ps: Yesterday I came across one shot of Niagra falls, very rear to see. Aftre the visitor season is over, they block the river over fall to clean debries and remove pennys thrown by people. So someone had the shot pereft at that time...the Canadian fall only in 2 small streams falling. Can you imagine?
