Horseshoe Falls

This is a shoot 2 weeks after my recent version with eddies in the foreground. Some heavy

rain during the week has transformed the entire scene and makes a interesting comparison.

Turned out to be one of the most awkward shots I have taken with the low angle, squatting in

the middle of those cascades & trying to keep the spray & rain off the lens. But as often is the

case, I think it was worth it.

Specifications : Canon 5D, 16-35mm 2.8L, polarizing filter, ISO 100, f22, shutter 30 seconds,

Gitzo tripod.

Gorgeous shot, wonderful composition. Just perfect!

Gorgious shot...great capture of the motion.

Wow. The low angle really gives you the feeling that you're IN the picture. Well exposed and framed. Inspiring.

amazing photo,good work.

Absolutely worth the effort..Great perspective and perfect exposure..No blown hightlites etc...Beautiful scene and superbly captured..rgs, Rob.

For my taste,the frame and it compo works very well,the space over the fall is suficient to close the image,the lower viewpoint be the image attractive and easthetic,and this kind of timming always works well... in conclusion it is a clasic forest image,but I like a lot and it is a fantastic image...nothing more!Best regards

Very beautiful! The exposure is brilliant and I really like the green amidst the water. A special view...multiple waterfalls. Great shot!

The first thing that came to my mind was WOW!!! 7/7

wonderfully sharp and detailed. the contrast and comp are excellent.

Fantasic color and light

I really like the perspective and the contrast in the vegetation, but I wouldn't mind seeing a bit more room in the top lef area of the picture. It seems slightly abrupt in its termination.

Great shot! Man, this is really a nice one Kah-Kit. That perspective is perfect! Now post it on a real landscape photo site like NPN ;-) One of my favorites of your work.

Thank you all for your comments & ratings. I am slightly surprised as rainforests & waterfalls seem to be a less popular genre. Marc, I will post this on NPN shortly. I am currently using photo.net which has a very large audience to display work I am already happy with. As I am working on a portfolio for exhibition purposes, I have had to use my postings on NPN for photos I am not so sure about to get critiques from specialist landscapists.

Heaven on earth!! Excellent is the word that suits you. :0))

You make a good point Christopher Freeman, one I considered at the time and after. Here is a slightly different version taken about a foot back. The left corner is less clipped & there is a greater sense of space. However, the sense of being in the centre of the cascade is lessened. I was at the widest focal length of 16mm in both shots which are uncropped.
