Hello silke,
The power of the water is demonstrated pretty well here. So is the the use of natural lighting in this composition. Excellent clarity and I like it.

Hi Lotl,
Wow stunning capture of the falls. I like the soft green colours of the water particular here. Regarding the composition, the half visible grass is a bit distractive in my opinion, One out of two, or I would have showed the complete grass or I would have removed it, well that's only my opinion :-) Overall a stunning posting my dear!

Many years ago, I came to visit this place armed with Kodak chrome slides, and those days, we were so impressed with the shots, but we could only afford 1 or 2 shots -expensive.

So now, you have digital photography and I wonder how many shots will a photographer take for such a lovely viewpoint like this one. When you see such an exciting scene like this, the shutter releases by itself many more times!

Great landscape! Only need to be aware of mists fogging the lens if you stand too near! TFS, bill

Another nice shot from the falls, Silke. You have caught the power of the water very well indeed, something many shots of the falls seem to avoid, trying instead to go for grace...nothing wrong with either approach, but I tend to prefer the "power" feel in shots like this. Nice one!

(unlike Hans, I think the grass adds a little something, breaks up the pic nicely)

Marvelous shot Silke! I love how the green of the water is so visible in the falls. Wouldn't it be cool to be able to travel back 12,000 years with our cameras and take a shot?? This is so nice!!

Hello Silke

Beautiful fall of Niágara Falls.
in fact the gilding in his fall is wonderful, and I see the power of the water.
In the season of the rain for here, our Waterfalls of Iguassú, also bend his volume of water giving a beautiful effect.
Beautiful shot, beautiful angle and beautiful composition!
Greetings!

Hello Silke,

Happy Sappers describes you both perfectly, as does Raw Power for you main shot! The cropping is perfect too!

The water reminds me of of some thick examples of Whitefriars glass, if you have ever seen it! The thick bubbled texture is exactly like the streams of water surging over the falls! I love it!

Kind regards,
Bev :-)

Hello Silke.
Still a nice place for a fresh morning shower, right?
Excellent pov and very spesical colors in it,
Wonder if you also took photo's with a slower speed ?
That will gives it a even a more flowing look.
Have a lovely day, dear Silke.

Hello Silke,

the shot is just so vivid as if the thunderous splash deafens the ears and feel the coolness of the mist. i like the detail in the swiftness of the fall.

great shot.

Hi Silke! Lovely details and colors of the falls. I miss the loud sound and the mist of Niagara! You framed the roaring might with the power plant in the background very well. Timing is perfect.
Cheers!

Hi Silke,

Beautiful view, excellent POV, lighting and comp.
Another shot with slow shutter speed for a milky effect of the falls would be a killer.

Beautifully captured at the right moment while the light is showing golden light on light green . .
It's powerful . .
