The Horse shoe falls, niagara, from the viewing area below the falls, Spring 08. No PP apart from reducing size and sharpening.
Niagara Falls is composed of two major sections parted by Goat Island: Horseshoe Falls, on the Canadian side of the border and American Falls on the United States side. The smaller Bridal Veil Falls also is located on the American side, separated from the main falls by Luna Island. Niagara Falls were formed when glaciers receded at the end of the Wisconsin glaciation (the last ice age), and water from the newly-formed Great Lakes carved a path through the Niagara Escarpment en route to the Atlantic Ocean. While not exceptionally high, the Niagara Falls are very wide. More than six million cubic feet (168,000 m³) of water fall over the crest line every minute in high flow,[1] and almost 4 million cubic feet (110,000 m³) on average. It is the most powerful waterfall in North America.[2]

Hi Paul
Very brave of you to even attempt to take the falls.
You managed it very nicely and the results are great.
Let's hope your camera still works after all that spraying.

Many will not appreciate this photo, but I do. The composition with the arc, the water lines and the slight cumulous clouds is quietly stunning. You have capture the power well. TFS. K2
