I live a 20-minute drive from Niagara Falls, so when this topic came up, I naturally thought of the Falls. Unfortunately, the atmosphere was on the hazy side when I visited the falls this week, making for less contrast than I would have preferred.
I little cropping and usm in PS7.
Thanks for looking, voting and/or commenting.

Now that I see you took the photo with a 10D, you should consider investing in a polarizer. It would have helped considerably with the haze in the sky.
Thanks for taking the time to vote, and for the advice. I have a polarizer, but, alas, didn't have it with me on this day :-(

I like this picture almost despite itself. Many photographers would have taken some effort to slow down the camera and get a silky effect on the moving water - but to me this looks better; it showes the grandeur and power of the falls instead of trying to make it looks soft.
Colors in the bakc ground of this photo look a bit washed out. It also might help to crop out the observation deck in the fore ground it seems to distract my attention from the falls a bit. I like the composition of your photo and the angle it was taken from.
I was actually thinking about visiting. Tis is a great shot. I like that you have included the people. Would be excellent for a travel guide shot so that the people can imagine themselves standing there. At least, it worked for me. :) 8
