Another crop. Any preferences out there? Opinions and critique welcomed. #980388Brinn MacDougall August 15, 2008
I like the first image..it's really well done..great motion and camera control, Lisa. #6317152Renata Gusciora August 15, 2008
Great water motion capture,Lisa!Beautiful! #6317168Lynne Morris August 15, 2008
Wow absolutely beautiful capture with perfect slow shutter speed Lisa. #6317173Karen Celella August 15, 2008
I wouldn't think that a crop on this shot would make that much difference, but I do prefer the cropped image. It gives the movement a bit more intensity and drama. Outstanding work Lisa!! #6317193Lisa R. Buffington August 15, 2008
WOW! Great capture Lisa! Beautiful. Lisa #6317270Nancy (Peaches) Harker August 15, 2008

I prefer the top version, tighter crop. Great movement, well done! #6317536Kathleen Rinker August 15, 2008
Wonderful images Lisa, I prefer the first, love the veiling and movement of the water in that one better; the color is just amazing, great work, fantastic image!!! #6317616Monica Mermoz August 15, 2008
Very beautiful, Lisa! Both are great, but I also prefer the first. I think that it shows better the water movement. #6318265Kate Baumgartner August 15, 2008

Beautiful capture Lisa. Bill #6318961Lorna Shutter August 15, 2008
Just gorgeous, Lisa! I love the effects! I think I like the first one better too, but I like how the second one shows you more of what lies on top of the falls before the big drop! Both images are great! :) #6319507Vladan D. Djordjevic August 15, 2008
An amazing "water image"! Great timing, color, tones, pov and composition. Great effects. #6319661Susie Peek-Swint August 16, 2008
Another wonderful capture of the falls Lisa .. for me I prefer the first one as I love the extra 'room' in the foreground :) #6320287Lisa J. Boulden August 16, 2008

What a great capture Lisa, it looks so strong! and the texture is so wonderful... #6361253Irene Colling August 31, 2008
You really made the most of your trip to Niagra didn't you. So many glorious photos from that adventure.It is surprising how a different crop affects the overall impression of an image. I prefer the slightly wider version with more forground water to lead into the heart of the image.
Well done Lisa. #6391606
