A beautiful image, Richard. The overall soft magenta light works very well, and particularly in combo with the outcrop of green vegetation on the left. I also like the curving line from left to right that leads around the image and to the light shining on the rh falls. I first thought that the vegetation on the left could be a little brighter, but then decided I liked it shadowed so it didn't compete with the falls on the right. The small lightened flowers (?... the image is too small to make them out)... are a nice touch as well. A lovely scene.

Richard, this is a truly wonderful image. On my monitor I feel that there is a little room for it to be lightened a small amount. I have recently been advised to change my Mac gamma setting to 2.2 and so I am wondering if things may be looking at bit darker?

I too agree it might be able to be lightened just slightly.

I just keep coming back to view this one!

It's very nice and the light we see is really gorgeous. I would personally find that adding some light in the darker areas selectively would enhance this photo.

Stunning shot! Beautiful take on a remarkable scene. Processing looks perfect to me and I'd personally leave the dark areas as-is.

Tremendous image. This has the feeling of a painting to it. the color of the sky and the reflection of the color in the water really adds to the image. The composition is ideal. It must be a tremendous experience to see Iquassu in person.

Awesome light, how did you get access to the falls at that time of the day?

Richard,

Beautiful. A grand scene - the light and color are sublime. I really like the inclusion of the foreground waterfall giving the scene some depth as well. What a sight!

I think I see Robert De Niro and Jeremy Irons climbing up the falls--very "The Mission"-esque. Loving it!
