Bridal Veil Falls
Every winter, ice is formed around the base of Niagara Falls, from the constant water flow and misty conditions.
As it thaws each spring, sediment layers appear in the ice formations, giving the ice a marblized look.
Rainbows are plentiful here, as are the seagulls, who seem to enjoy swooping and soaring into the mist.
(These are actual gulls; not PS'd into the scene.)
Captured from Goat Island, Niagara Falls State Park.

Capturing real life moments like this, rather than DD creations, should be given special consideration. The investment of energy, time, luck and skill in capturing a split second in time resulting in such beauty is a gift. And you've got the gift my friend.
