Waterfall from heaven Photo

Photographer’s Note

This is a view of the Niagra falls horseshoe from a location at the Park adjacent to it.See the massiveness of the waterfall.. remember we are seeing only a corner of it and from a distance too.Doesn't the water seem like its falling right from the sky?The refracting water forms a black line on top. Critiques are welcome.Thanks for viewing.

Amazing POV. Beautiful shot.. Yes it looks like the water in pouring directly from the sky.

Hi Vikram.
Good, very good composition. Simple but good.
The light and colours, strongs, are also good.
Well done.

olá
Catarata impressionante, esta muito simples a composição mas muito bonita,o verde e o azul enquadram muito bem na foto, e as pessoas ajudam a demosntrar a grandeza dessa grande cascata.
Bravo,
Tchau...

Your weather was SO much nicer for your visit to Niagara Falls than it was for mine. The diagonal is nice! I like the way you captured the edge of the cliff over which the Falls tumble.

jbweasle (9294) 2006-01-26 14:39

Hi Vikram, this is an interesting perspective on the falls. The water seems to be dropping from the sky. It is also unusual to see it half hidden behind the ridge. Well done for posting us a different view of this much photographed place.

Beautiful angle of vision...
Thanks to sharing

rbcy1974 (20746) 2006-02-10 8:17

Hello Vikram
I like this composiiton because of the lonely people as well as the feeling of s=isolation, in a way your photo dresses up reality as it makes the place look quite natural while in reality is surrounded by concrete,
regards
Daniel

Hi Vikram,

Ciao Vikram.
Bellissima questa Niagara. Sembra che acqua cade da celo. Complimenti.
Saluti, Tania

sarju (5308) 2006-02-28 0:13

Hi Vikram
I am really impressed with this photo mate .... I love the way waterfall looks like from this angle ...
the white froth on most of the waterfall and a thin layer of what seems to be calm tranquil water on top of the cliff
thanks so much for sharing this splended view ... much appreciated
cheers .... sarju

Angshu (34243) 2006-03-04 4:06

Hi Vikram
An amzing perspective. I am still scratching my head. The sky colour is also great.
Absolutely brilliant observation & shot

skeelerik (763) 2006-03-06 16:02

Hi Vikram,
Good idea to take this this angle. It's indeed water from heaven. Maybe you could have chosen for a faster shutterspeed to sharpen the water falling down?
CU, Erik

aznegrao (10246) 2006-03-12 11:28

Hi Vikram!!
Linda paisagem com a beleza vegetal fazendo parte do cenario. A atmosfera, as cores e definição estão perfeitas.
Great work!!!

Hi Vikram, apt title for a gogeous picture. Most wonderful pictures score alot of points on the angle, and yours is no exception. Good composition, with the tri-color! Kudos to you.

colinbrenchley (6133) 2006-03-13 17:10

Great perspective and a different from the normal view of this natural sight. I like it.

Hi Vikram.

Really impressive waterfall. Superb. I like the contrast between the plants and the water.

Nice light too!

Nice viewpoint of the niagra falls here. Very creative and smart image

sakthi (127) 2006-03-25 4:37

hi dude, great picture that has captured the scale of the falls...good that you included the people for scale..and of all the title is too good and apt....the refracting line of water gives a illusion that the sky is ripped open to let the water fall....gr8 shot

Golden_Eagle (469) 2006-03-26 23:07

Great shot. Colors and contrast are good; the waterfall edge looks like a knife-cut in the skies... If it wasn't for the people in the photo one would think it's a computerized image :)

partha (13677) 2006-03-30 14:01

OH HO, What a shot.
The colour combination is so nice.A lot of mystry in it.
The falling of water seems to be from the sky.
Great work.

Hi Vikram,
Great shot with the people in front. Very good POV.

This is here the masterpiece of your collection vikram !!
woow impressive !
Mother nature can be so beautiful and strong !!
I love this POV, a little bit different than those we usually see of that spot .
Thanks for letting us see this art picture :)

ahmetgedikli (22245) 2006-04-12 17:24

Hi Vikram,
Very beautiful composition, colours and good point of view. Greetings. Ahmet

weswang (18223) 2006-04-12 18:40

Hi Vikram, An impressive shot. I like the PoV here. It looks that the waterfall come from the sky. Nice to see the visitors in the picture to provide a nice size reference. A well composed and well taken picture. Well done.

mfonda (889) 2006-04-16 15:48

Hi Vikram,

Amazing waterfall composition. I like your fast shutter speed here- we can truly feel the size and magnitude of these falls. The POV is absolutely amazing, the water is just coming from the sky. Thanks for sharing.

Photobones (345) 2006-04-17 22:48

I don't know if that's a waterfall... looks more like an iceberg to me. ;) Again, striking POV and great composition.

azadys (711) 2006-04-26 8:49

Hi Vikram.
nice shot with great composition.
i like it.

nyquist (66) 2006-04-27 7:40

Very nice one.
It apears to be realy falling from heaven in front of the peoples eyes. Some noise in the edge of the fall.

Very good,
Nicolas.

pablominto (41690) 2006-04-28 6:45

Hello Vikram,
An awesome point of view... quite unlike anything I have seen before!
Very good composition, where the strong diagonal enhances the falls...
Great colours and some fine details, the people bring life and add scale!
Greetings,
Pablo -

dkeus31 (26503) 2006-04-28 8:23

Hello Vikram,
A very nice picture in your portfolio.
A strong foreground diagonal and an original POV of the falls.

Didier

danyy (69929) 2006-05-05 2:50

Bonjour Vikram,
c'est des fois d'un peu plus loin qu'on obtient les photos les plus surprenantes. Celle-ci est fantastique car obn croirait l'eau venant du ciel.
Belle gestion des lumières, tu as bien fait d'inclure ges gens , ils donnent une idée de la dimension des chutes.
Best regards.
Daniel.

vinicio (22502) 2006-05-08 2:33

Dear vikram,
so very nice .
that's a great composition.but what is the black edge of waterfall?
best regards,

sabyasachi1212 (19546) 2006-05-12 7:21

Hi Vikram,
WOW !. I have seen so many images of Niagra but not one from this angle. You certainly have chosen your vantage point well. It does seem to leap out of the water.

mishreyee (0) 2006-05-12 8:58

Hi!
This is just unbelievable shot! I am simply spellbound to see the water level....really it is 'waterfall from heaven', very very appropriate title!
Mishreyee

magost (608) 2006-05-13 8:53

Everything has been said about this spectacular shot, but I think it's one of the best I've ever seen...
Colours are not excellent, but composition is fantastic and the title works very well!! Human presence is good because it gives the scale to this great waterfall.
What impressive place!

franklee (24) 2006-05-30 10:50

I have seen so many photos of this great fall, but never from that angle. Bravo for this original point of view. Really well managed composition with the line that splits the frame.

arnoud1976 (1191) 2006-05-31 3:25

hi Vikram, extraordinary show here. the power and mass of the water really makes you feel rather small as a human. Maybe you can crop this a bot and make it into en even more powerful image...but i like this very much as it is.

The credits somehow do not work now, but FULL points for this one for sure!

TFS arnoud

serenadanesi (926) 2006-06-02 10:19

This is really an original picture of Niagara Fall.
The colour of sky is great.
Serena

rajhema (1867) 2006-06-16 15:43

I should say your angle is very interesting here the water do seems like falling from sky. Nice catch. Usually people try to take the falls in its entirity from high up or take the glowing night shots. This one stands out unique. Good one and TFS>

Bonsori Vikram
je découvre cette superbe photo ce soir. La présence des personnages donne l'immensité de ces chutes. Une très belle réalisation
Bravo

rewshearer (682) 2006-07-09 17:10

A deservedly awarded photograph, Vikram.
Your POV is excellent, the title really suits - the water seems to be gushing from a crack in the sky. Very nice work indeed.

Voltri (1724) 2006-07-26 13:06

Vikram, what I like at this photo, is the effect of water falling from nowhere - you captured the fall under such an angle, that creates illusion that water source is the sky itself :)

cbrman (19097) 2006-08-12 6:53

Hello,

Superbe composition ! La chute d'eau s'enfonce dans l'inconnu.
Elle est comme suspendue ! J'adore cette image !
Bien vu !

picus (876) 2006-09-12 16:49

Hey Vikram, Excellent POV: The first time I see the falls like this. 5 stars for the pov! If I had to teach about pov, this picture would explain it all.

Very good !
