A boat trip under the mighty Rhine Falls. The roaring of the waters and the power of these falls are a marvel.

Hi Francis,

This is a nice shot that really does show off the power of the falls, it almost doesn't look possible that the water can calm down in such a short distance before the boat, but I guess it might be the zoom lens shortening the perspective.

Cheers

Hi Francis,

I can almost hear the crashing of these falls by looking at your photograph. Great idea to put the people on the platform in the scene with the boat. Very clear shot, nice colors, too!

Thanks,

Hi Francis,
perfectly presented Rhine Falls composition.Good timing to show the strength and might of the Nature,especially with a comparison of the boat and site-seeing place.
Good work!

Hi Francis,

A great shot of the falls, with the boat nicely placed in the front. Keeping the sky out of the picture makes the falls seem huge, and the telephoto makes the falls seem to be almost about to engulf the boat. Fast shutter speed has captured the action well.

Thanks for your kind words, Francis.
A most spectacular deluge indeed!...and to take up a word in your title: It's a MIGHTY stryking view!
Your people setup on two levels is quite attractive, composition-wise.
An exciting mood of an approaching "tsunami" and you managed well the exposure because much details are visible in highlights.
Compliments.
Best regards.
Robert
