Another wow shot as you have again chosen the perfect angle to show the greatness of these falls - the distance and framing create the story to tell as the ship is moving towards the unknown. This looks very similar like the Iguazu falls in Brazil
your technical applications are excellent exposure contrast and lighting perfect not easy with these fine water drops in the air
well seen, perfect moment, excellent capture

Is this the "Maid of the Mist"? Always wanted to go on that tour but have not been up that way in many wears. It seems like you gave this a slighted painted look which is really effective (it works well even if not a painted look). Nice one for sure ~ Steve

    Many thanks for your kind review! Yes, it is the Maid!! No, I have not applied any special effects to the image.

This is a very nice view of the falls and closer to see the detail and closeness of the ship. Wonderful spray and mist
Capture with a very nice view taken in this diagonal shot.
Pleasure to view.

This take could serve as a primer for what is good white balance. You handled this mostly white piece exceptionally well - Kudos.

A lot of visual impact and drama in this scene.

Your camera settings are spot on terrific. The boat and greenery are sharp and the water has that milky flow to it.

Very creative presentation with the two main elements in diagonal opposition to each other.

An exciting scene that tells a good story, I like it ... B-)) Bob

another view of the falls, different from the one posted 2 weeks ago; I think I prefer this one with the diagonal framing of the land and the boat closer to the falls;

Oh my.....I can hear the falls and feel the spray of the mist in the air. Wow....you have captured the dramatic scene of Niagara Falls. I like that you were able to include the tourist boat in this shot.....it gives us the feeling of just how enormous of a scene. Your play with light and shadows has created depth and contrast in your scene. The details are beautifully captured ....a perfect exposure and white balance. Outstanding work and thanks for sharing. Worthy of a six star! I love this!

oh wow. what a photo and what a view.. That tiny tourist boat looks like it is venturing into depths beyond its capacity ... Love the way you have captured the water cascading from the rock ledge above .. The force of that water must be fierce, indicated by the splashing mist of spray that extends to the right side of the picture. Fantastic exposure and excellent lighting has enabled me to clearly define the whitewash of water as it rolls down the edge of the cliff. The cliff face on the right is a great anchor for your photo and provides a nice contrast to the greenish tones of the water below. The turbulence of that water gives a feeling of movement and adds to the appeal of the photo. Those 3 yellow bushes on the right cliff top , are a nice touch of colour in the scene. The picture evokes an emotion in my mind. Pity help the tourists in that boat .. they are in for the ride of their lives .. The boat is heading right into the whitewash.. ooooooh.. Great photo with enormous appeal.. thanks for sharing.. a true pleasure to review. cheers mel

Comment from Pamela Ruggiero


I was here in 1978! I remember all of the mist between those falls. We went out in a boat and raincoat and still got soaking wet. That mist roams around and gets everything wet. Nice composition with good framing. Maybe would be nice to live here in peace and tranquility. Thank you for sharing and best of luck with this image

This is home for me, so thank you for resurrecting memories for me. With the Maid of the Mist there offering a nice anchor point you have made the photo much more interesting thank the regular cliche ones. I also think that the diagonal foreground further adds visual strength and balance to your well taken shot.
