Canon 5D MRK II, EF100mm f/2.8L Macro, f/9, 1/50sec, ISO100

I know it is very classic, and thousands of Photographers did this shot, but I can not resist the happiness I feel every time I look at this Photo and say: "How Great is Our Earth!".
I wanted to share with you this happiness. Happy and Peaceful Times Dear Photographers!

Lovely work on the conversion, and a fine photo. Nothing wrong with an iconic photo if you do it right, which you have done here.
"How great is our Creator, and how great is His Earth!" Merry Christmas!

Wonderful site to behold and the b&w treatment adds to the drama of the scene. I like it a lot.

A classic grand scenic. I like the conversion and the dramatic clouds.

Raied,

Excellent, classic image from Tunnel View. B&W works very well here of course. From the looks of the light, I think color would be beautiful as well.

I have to mention the falls being cut off at the bottom. Kinda unfortunate. There's nothing but trees beneath and so it was making me wonder why the tight cut at the bottom. Then I realized that you mention a fixed focal length, 100mm, which I guess explains this as you also should and did, leave room for the sky. did you happen to capture a vertical? An excellent image for sure and no doubt a great source of happiness for you. But just for comparisons sake, it would have been nice to include the bottom of the falls. My only nit.

Very nice image Raied. Fantastic composition and the sepia toning gives this a vintage look which seems appropriate to showcase the timeless beauty of this location.

Real sweet image, love the clouds and love the light. Very nice b+w conversion. I am debating on the inability to see the bottom of the falls...I think I would prefer to see the bottom. TFS

This is beautiful. Really like the way the B&W treatment brings out the shapes and textures.
