Wow that shot is magnificent! It gazes upon the beauty of Earth and what nature can really show to the world! The whole picture put together looks like a thing of art, with the sky being a little cloudy and the water matching it just perfectly! GREAT VIEW! I LOVE IT!!!!

Very nice shot over all the picture. The long exposure made a really good effect. Very effective retouch, very slight. great job.

Nice composition. Would have prefered a little sharper, less soft misty look though.
yasmin
magnificent–love the hint of yellow at the bottom left hand corner! well done.

Top image. I like long exposure photography myself. It gives a whole different look to what might otherwise be considered ordinary (although these falls are anything but ordinary) and presents such images in a pleasingly sureal way.
Susan Gagnon
I agree with Tom Brooklyn. Still, it’s a good shot.
Laurie
Absolutely magnificent!
As for the aforementioned misty look, a “Mighty Falls” like this creates mist! Plus, the long exposure emphasizes the mist even more.
It is indeed breathtaking!
