Lynne Morris August 15, 2008

Wow absolutely beautiful capture with perfect slow shutter speed Lisa. #6317173

Karen Celella August 15, 2008

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!! #6317193

Lisa R. Buffington August 15, 2008

WOW! Great capture Lisa! Beautiful. Lisa #6317270

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! :) #6319507

Vladan D. Djordjevic August 15, 2008

An amazing "water image"! Great timing, color, tones, pov and composition. Great effects. #6319661

Irene Colling August 31, 2008

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. #6391606
