Best I've seen from this, one of the most beatiful places on Earth.  You have proved that the sun does not need to be in the shot.  Congrats!

Nice work, Steve.  I'd really like to do it all over again this fall.  Or maybe something in California.  Nice purple lighting.  I can't tell the perspective though.  How big is the tree?

I like the angle.  Reminds me of the Andromeda Galaxy.

Visited slums in Pune, India. Four photographers were soon

overwhelmed by 100 or more kids. We found happiness in a place of misery.

Great shot, Arup.  Tones are excellent.  Igor, it is what it is.  No need to over analyze.  It's 4 kids living in poverty.  Probably don't see a camera all that much.  Innocence, yes indeed.

Beautiful dog.

I have lived in Bloomington, Illinois for the last 15 years, and this has been the coldest winter of those 15. Alaska and Minnesota are also experiencing their coldest winters in quite some time. In some areas, its warmer, others colder. I don't get too worried about modest temperature fluctuations. People should be more concerned about genocide in Africa, murder on our streets, or in our women's wombs.

Very nice pic, anyway.

Try a Neutral Density filter. Keeps the water from being blown out.

I think you are right about the "bushes". There was a spot shining on it from the rapids, which is distracting to the falls.

to crop or not to crop...

Looking south at American Falls, with Horseshoe Falls and Canadian

hotels in the background.
