A very nice composed photo. TFS. I liked the way you included object (boat) in this picture.

Very good composition, which isolates the boat under the fall.
Very impressive.

Hi Nilima,
Fantastic snap of the beautiful waterfall.
The water falling behind the boatman creates a magical ambience. I missed an opportunity to visit the Chitrakut falls earlier. But I don't think it will take me a long time to visit it after seeing your snap.

Hello Neelima,

Perfect compositon, and very interesting subject : that's a great picture.
I like the composition, with the fisherman on the right : it seems under a shower with the waterfall in the background.

Hello Neelima.
I like this dramatic and impressive composition with its well timed capture of a small human figure against a background of the power of nature. The picture is well proportioned and the main subject well placed. Interesting note about the falls, thanks!

Neelima,

Ah, such a very nice photo! It has a spiritual quality to it, I think: the utter power of nature, and man as a smaller part of it. And man fishing, therefore living off of what nature provides. I feel like there are gods or goddesses involved in your photo.

Really cool!

Very good capture of the misty waterfall backdrop to have this man on the boat as subject feature. The light is well shown in this shot. Good work.

Neelima, hello, I am feeling free to critique and put points on your stuff.

This one is a really fine capture, the dof works and the detail is awesome. I always try to imagine where the shot was made from and in this one it seems you might be on another boat. No matter it is a fine capture. I have added you to my favorites so I can follow your work. Your gallery has some good stuff in it.

This is simply wonderful Neelima! Fishing under a waterfall is not uncommon a scene, but what makes this special are the torrents of water, which have been frozen in time. The light was also good, making the water glisten near the boat. Excellent!

What a beautiful picture!!
I like the way you composed it: a lot of space for falling water, in contrast with the horizontal lines in the bottom. Nice also the little boat, in a side. Brava!!!

Hello Neelima,

What an astonishingly beautiful photograph, a virtual silken veil created by the waterfalls, forming a backdrop to the young man in the dugout. It represents exquisite composition and flawless exposure. I recently posted an image of the "world famous Niagara Falls," and titled it Footbridge Between Cliffs but it has nothing over this photo.

Warm regard from Virginia, USA.

Hi
fantastic composition.
The person on the boat makes the shot so interesting, and at the same time is a great scale marker which helps to imagine the size of the waterfall.
Beautiful work,
M

Hi Neelima

Powerful photo, stunning image. Thanks to the use of a tele photo lens, it seems the water falls directly on the fisherman!
