...not for me or the camera, but my last post from my trip to Switzerland four weeks ago. This is a capture of one of the gorgeous cascades of Truemmelbach Fall in Lauterbrunnen Valley.

WOW, this is a very dynamic and powerful looking capture, Peter. The angle of view shows a very interesting rock formation that has been sculpted out over time with this ongoing cascading water flow. Pretty scary POV from this angle too. :cool:

Excellent work Peter. I love the water action and point of view. Looks like a precarious view point. This also has some nice abstract qualities.

Hey Peter, Wow!...This is awesome! Your view point really makes for a dramatic look at this place. I just love the powerful motion you captured in the water. The light and rock formations look fantastic too. You really nailed this shot...Wonderful work. :toast:

Lots of power in this. Well composed to lead me right down to the bottom. A bit vertiginous!

I'am surprised this only has five comments. The point of view here is simply fantastic, Peter. I particularly like the rock formation which has been sculpted by the rushing water. Did you happen to take any comps with a bit more at the bottom Peter? I think that would make this even stronger.

Neat look at a big drop and some very strong water erosion. I like the action in the falls and all the mist down below. The view sure makes it fell like I'm about to fall off.

Peter,

This is fascinating, unique and most certainly gives me vertigo! It's dynamic and a little bit mysterious - I mean clearly you're looking straight down a waterfall, but that's just where the mystery begins. Hard to figure out where the water is going - a big black hole is a simplistic way to put it. Excellent.

Interesting perspective. Very mysterious! The curves of stone lead the eye back to the water and all sucks you right in.
