Iguazu Falls

Note: I have no idea how to take landscape photos!

I did want to post this, however, to say: if you are really into waterfalls, a visit to Argentina's Iguazu Falls is a must. I've been to all the "major" waterfalls in the world (including Victoria, twice), and Iguazu is the only place that just floored me with its beauty. I did not do justice to the Falls here, but am just putting this place on your list if you're a landscape photog, and haven't been!

It will take your breath away.

It's on my bucket list. You did a great job of getting a photo of a falls that is frequently too covered with mist for a good shot.

Rebecka,

Glad you decided to post. Never been and can't say I ever will, but even so, you've captured a pretty dynamic image. There is definitely a feeling of being on the edge with this one. Double rainbow is a nice added element and you've got a complimentary sky. I'd say you did well with this. Would prefer the intruding tree in the LLC, but I suspect you had limited vantage point opportunities. Thanks for sharing.

The double rainbow is very nice in this. I like the large view a lot better, especially in terms of the bush coming into the frame at a diagonal on the lower left; could be the substandard display in the laptop I'm using while on the road. Great job; I can almost hear the waters' roar.

Certainly gives a feeling of being there. Double rainbow always adds interest! Very nice. TFS

Really nice natural landscape Rebecka, I think your photo does do it justice.

Gary.
