Your framing of the scaling of this journalistic shot is amazing. I love the diagonal presentation of this cliff side vista, so serene, amidst the sheer, vast high flow of the fall's rushing movement, so powerful. Great exposure and light on the stretch of cliff side. Love the touch of green richness.

Very beautiful capture of the falls. The white waters
make a wonderful contrast to the grayish side view. The green shrubbery gives division with an added color to stop the sameness of the grays. Great capture. Love the title which really
completes the image. I've been to the falls and there seems to be very dangerous areas to me too.

I cannot imagine how you got such a fabulous shot from a helicopter in motion. This is a spectacular scene and it really says a lot. What a truly gifted photographer you are. Keep up the good work.

A nicely balanced scene with the falls making a good definition against the greens surrounding the people. Water is well detailed and not washed out (no pun intended). The falls are a magnificent sight from a chopper. Well done ~ Steve

Hi there. I just had a peek at your portfolio and you are quite the landscape photographer.

The reason this image works for me is because you have given a lot of visual strength to the water which comes across as powerful and as you say, majestic. It shows how small and insignificant we are when placed against powerful nature.

The outcrop of land is just enough to entice us to look closer and the fact you have everything so sharp, yet a nice blur on the water, transforms this rendering into excellence.

I also LOVE that you kept it natural without oversharpening and over manipulation, which is so easy to do.

The exposure is very good and it looks like it was a rainy Canadian kinda fall day....although I know you can have 4 seasons in one day in Canada.

Well contrasted, nice formatting gives a solid visual hold on this very enjoyable upload.

You are making me homesick with this shot. I'm from Toronto but live in Thailand.
