This is magnificent, rich with a variety of textures, and best of all, I thought it was sideways when I first looked at it.

I would have been tempted to crop out the ice on the right. It's interesting, but the falls and the birds are so much more interesting, and the ice detracts from it. I do love having the rock there, however. :) Nice shot!

At first glance, I thought this was a tree trunk. The tiny birds set me straight. Very nice.

I thought I was looking at a river, and my orientation was off, but I assume now I see a waterfall... Either way, beautiful capture!

Very dynamic and emotive. This makes up for the loss of sharpness which I personally look for as my taste in such shots (I need to move on, I know). All the same a great capture, probably could have worked 90 degrees clockwise, as well ;)

Disconcerting and a bit disorienting - which is kinda nifty, really! That's one serious waterfall.

Oh this would be GREAT blown up large. I love how focused the birds are. Nice natural duotone with the black rock and the white water. Interesting and well done.
