  I wouldn't think that a crop on this shot would make that much difference, but I do prefer the cropped image. It gives the movement a bit more intensity and drama. Outstanding work Lisa!!

  Very beautiful, Lisa! Both are great, but I also prefer the first. I think that it shows better the water movement.

  Just gorgeous, Lisa! I love the effects! I think I like the first one better too, but I like how the second one shows you more of what lies on top of the falls before the big drop! Both images are great! :)

  You really made the most of your trip to Niagra didn't you. So many glorious photos from that adventure.

It is surprising how a different crop affects the overall impression of an image. I prefer the slightly wider version with more forground water to lead into the heart of the image.

Well done Lisa.
