Hi Urs,

an excellent capture of the water flow, looks so creamy, it´s excellent, really! a perfect shot...

take care, Ivana

This is a magnificent shot of these falls, Urs. Your long exposure has given an incredible texture to the water. That's such a small aperture! The polarizer made a great impact too. I am very impressed with this photograph.
Bravo!

Urs, this is truly outstanding photo of Iguaçú falls. I like this slightly longer exposure time as it gives all scene kind of dreamy and romantic feel. Very well seen and captured. Lucie

if i ever see these falls with my own eyes, i hope they make as great an impression as your picture. beautiful shot, fantastic colours and the dampness that you can almost feel in the air.
best regards

Hi Urs,

Before your shot, I doesn't know anything on theses falls... but it's a fabulous landscape and a superb shot with a great use of your exposition time to have the water a bit softy.

Great picture.

Fantastic shot Urs!

What a superb view and image is a great great work. Lovely colours and tones of this beautiful Iguacu falls in Brasil. Good compo, contrast and just enough long time for a complete viewing pleasure and interesting effect with the water. Looks like a phantasy.
I enjoy it a lot and thanks for sharing!

amazing color, composition of a truly amazing place!

I'm speachless seeing this one, perhaps the best of this place on TE, don't have memories of a better shot from iguazu.
Perfefct settings and choice of POV for your tripod.
Great and must have been a unique experience.
Congratulations

Urs, this is really one of the best shots of the Iguazu Falls I ever saw, Great motion blur of the falling water, very good POV and composition. Well done. Rgds, Michael
