Leena from Joensuu, Finland
I think, a human being feels him/herself very tiny beside this respectable view.
To "grouser" I would like to show my frozen fall, what is much smaller than this fall here, but frozen :)
1 Jun 2009 12:39pm
@Leena: thank you Leena!! and yes -- the majestic falls make one feel incredibly small!! :) cheers!
@Mariana: thanks heaps Mariana!!! :)
@callemie: thanks Callemie!! :) hope all is well with you!!! xxx

Howard F. from South Pasadena, Calif., United States
I like how you toned down the saturation a bit and made it kind of a metallic bluish. This is good enough for a ice-cool beer commercial, very nice!
1 Jun 2009 11:03pm
@Howard F.: ooh -- i like that idea!! cheers Howard!! :)
@Steve Rice: thanks Steve!!
Ivar from Indianapolis, United States

MadScientist from Düsseldorf, Germany
Very impressive! Also a bit frightening because of its remoteness and the absence of life.

Excelente. Me gusta muchísimo. Es posible que algo más contrastada te hubiera quedado más impactante.

Absolutely stunning. Like a great "Yosemite" but cold and frozen. I must go to Iceland one day. Great image for a calendar's winter months!

I've seen a photo of these falls in the summer which my friend took but the place is completely transformed in the winter. You've captured them perfectly.

akarui from Kagoshima, Japan
We can see lots of ice but the waterfall is still running as it is a hudge one.
I don't why there is not thumbnails on the right side (next picture). I came on your blog recently using a link reaching the previous picture to this one and I though that there was no new post.

Barbara from Florida, United States
My first thought, magical yet eery. It must have been an experience to be there. Wonderful processing.
