Your pictures deserve white space as in a gallery! I'm on a campaign to ask folk to do as a curator does in surrounding a photograph with a white space. So a comment before and after the centered image. Now it stands out from the page and is elevated to it's real importance.

Dwayne,

I too am fascinated by frozen waterfalls. I've never seen such a table phenomenon like this. This is spectacular. I've always found it difficult to start and end the image as the scenery seems to go on in every direction. Did you feel this too?

Thank you very much Asher. Yep I find frozen waterfall comps can be a bit tricky.
I find they are just to busy so what I do is tend to comp them a bit tighter and focus
on a couple of ice forms. The trade off is the photo can look flat with no depth but a least
the eye has something to anchor to.

Take care,

I've often thought of somehow using another image or a photograph of the same waterfall in the spring and combining them. I have this feeling that we must escape the endless continuity of ice. With any other time, it seems that landscapes can be composed as units of art. When you've got it right, there's a great feeling that nothing more and nothing less is needed for that composition. The frozen waterfalls defy this! So I have long wondered how to mount a counter-attack!
