Hello Andrzej,

What an extraordinary vantage point for this shot, Victoria Falls which the natives called "the End of the Earth." The compostion and exposure are exquisite, as are the sharpness and colors. Well done,
and cheers from Virginia,

Hi Andrzej,
How exciting it must have been to fly over Victoria Falls!
I like the way you composed the picture, that is the way you use the diagonal line formed by the waterfalls which is surrounded by such an amazing landscape.

Hello, Andrzej--
Nice work here, the aerial perspective is very interesting, and i like the way you chose to use the strong diagonals. It's interesting to see the two small viewing points to the right of the falls, with the tiny people barely visible adding scale.
Thanks!

Hey Andrzej

Wow what a pov. Nice comp and colors. Very sharp. But what a flight that must have been. Way to get up there. Well done.

Hi Andrzej,
I saw in the past another similar shot but this one is better. It' very close to waterfall and I can appreciate more details.
Victoria Falls are a real miracle of nature!

hi andrzej,
viewing this kind of images forces us to consider our own size, strenght and importance as human beings ... if compared to the true force, uniqueness and beauty of nature.
this image and the other one too, are breathtakingly beautiful ... seeing these sites almost as a bird would see them must be a unique experience, you're fortunate enough that it happened to you and we, on the other hand are lucky that we can see them posted here
well done and tfs,
dora

I have only two words for this pic:ohhhh,my God!!!!!
THANK YOU
A nice weekend,dear Andrzej

Hi Andrzej
Excellent pov of the falls which really show off the power of the water. Although it's not easy through a window to get the best colours, I find them a bit dull here which is why I've done a WS.
Regards
Nikki

This is a rare and different angle Dear Andrej. I like a lot the color balance and the smooth motion captured in the water. Great shot.

Witam! Kolejne świetne ujęcie tych imponujących wodospadów z helikoptera. W bardzo udany sposób pokazujesz jak to wygląda. Na pewno z ziemi nie dałoby się tego tak dobrze pokazać. Bardzo dobra praca! Andrzej

Ah, so this must be the shot you told me about that you took from a helicopter a few days after mine, Andrezj. Good composition but perhaps lacking a tiny bit on the sharpness from having to shoot through a window. I didn't have that problem shooting out the side of the ultra-light, but still had to use a fast speed to overcome the vibration from the engine. Cheers . . . David

Hi Andrzej,
this is nice photo but I think that´s a pitty that you didn´t take it from lower altitude to see where water falls. About as good as it can be is it well made.
Regards,
Stanislav

That's awesome!
