This is Niagara Falls.
The crest line of the American Falls (Rainbow Falls) is approximately 950 feet (290 meters) in width. The depth of the water at the crest is approximately 2 feet (0.6 meters). The crest line of the American Falls is 510 feet (155 meters) above sea level.

In one second, a total of 150,000 gallons of water flows over the width of the crest line of the American Falls.

Rising and falling water. .
the water is falling in the foreground and misting upward in the background (just in case you were confused) :)
I brightened and saturated
Me, shelbeesmom and silke all met at Niagra falls and had a blast!
Thanks for looking!
Shelby

Hello Shelby:):):)
There is probably billions of photos from this famous place all over the world but if I have to choose - this one will be in my album for sure. You manage to catch spirit of this place - very nice presentation:):):)

Hi Shelby,
Superb photo! Nice POV and tight crop! I like the soft and natural colors you obtained. Very appealing image! Annie

Great choice of POV Shelby. Very good landscape shot. I also liked the drama in the sky. TFS

Allan

Hello Shelby!

Technically we could walk on the crest (^_^)provided there would be a life line !

I like the vertical shot here. We can almost feel and ear both of them ( Silke and your mom ) behind you here, shooting as well.

Next time , convince your mom , to go further North to Montreal. The four seasons are great, but you would certainly enjoy the long summer days of June and July.

Cheers!
Robert

Really nice Shelby! Your old camera does a great job...but we need to get it into the shop! This is a super work on processing! Love the bit of green in the water!

Excellent Shelby, one can feel the power of the water. Nice pastel colours, well composed and lovely detail. TFS,
David

Many thanks for your comment on ‘Windwarde and MiliMili I’

Lovely angle with nice light and colors.
Well done
David

Hi Shelby! I like it! It looks like one of my photos, but this is better with its great details and timing of the shot. Very good framing/crop. The portrait composition works well.
Cheers!
Freddie :)

I will say, that I have seen Niagra falls from both the Canada and U.S. sides and photos "usually" don't do it justice. Shelby, you have done just that! It's a terrific photo of a very powerful work of nature. I love the lighting and perspective. My question is where in the heck were you when you took the photo?? looks dangerous to me.

tfs, lisa :D

Shelbee,
WOW!
Stunning! Great portrait framing and capture of motion. The colors are subtle and the detail/sharpness is superb. Keep up the good work.
Scott

Hi Shelby,
Missed this one, an excellent and dramatic capture of the falls. The water vapour above the water is well seen. The colours are great and so is the light and contrast a fine posting Shelby!
Hans

Beautiful shot of this waterfall. I love the colors of the sky. Very well captured!

Hi Shelby..this is a nicely composed shot of the falls..you captured the feeling of the height and force of the water very effectively.
