[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
This is another shot of downtown Niagara Falls, Canada taken the same day as my previous post (The Skywheel). During summer, this place is packed by tourists and it is virtually impossible to drive around this area as traffic would crawl in snail's pace.

Did a little bit of sharpening(USM) and increased the saturation to make it come alive. I'm not sure how the colors turn out on other monitors but on mine it looks pretty good. Hope you like it. Thanks.

Very POP with lovely colours! Regards!

Hola Ernesto,

It has been such a long time since I last visited Niagara Falls and I imagine it has changed a lot since then. I like this image because is colourful and generally well composed. I do however think that the colours glow a bit too much, perhaps due to the extra saturation. I don't remember the skywheel at all. Is that permanent feature of the city nowadays? Nice work Ernesto.

Hello Ernesto.

You have captured a really good picture here. Very well done! Your composition is really good as well. The colours are good, if anything maybe slightly to bright. When you edit them next time, definitely saturate the colours if you think you need to, but maybe not as much as this.

This is still a good picture!

Hola Ernesto, sin duda uno de los aspectos más desconocidos de la famosas cataratas es todo el circo que hay montado en torno a ellas, y que no hace más que estimular la imaginación para saber cómo serían cuando no había nada. Los colores son magníficos, reproduces muy bien la lógica del lugar.

Hi Ernesto,
This is an eye-catching image which relies mainly on colour, however the compo with the multitude of signage does portray the essense of the place. I think you may have pushed the saturation a little too far, but in the end it does work pretty well..
Cheers Grant
