Water power

So, nothing fancy, natural as we can see, it misses only this low frequency noise of the falls.

Je ne comprend pas.

Your subject is the rapids/falls. You state as much in your title. This is certainly a good subject for that idea, but think about your composition: where is the power going? It is running away from you. Wouldn't you prefer power to be coming to you, the recipient/viewer? I think this could have been a very powerful image if you had photographed the falls from the opposite shoreline. This might have required a tricky portage with a kayak--but, hey--no one said landscape photography is easy.

Thanks Stan for your comments, I agree with you that it would be a lot better from the bottom to see the power of this falls but no ressources. I have also taken this one from the first falls that is more representative of the power of this river.

First of all, welcome to NPN. I like this view and you choice of shutter speed shows the power of a swollen river nicely. I do wonder about the composition, as it grabs my eyes in the lower right corner and pulls them nicely along the river, but then they want to leave the frame on the left. The sky catches some interest, but that still leaves the upper right half not holding much attention. Was there a spot where you could get the river curving back into the frame, or possibly some more land on the left?

I like how this shows the power of the water, it is wild and angry. (Doesn't it need to be in Man and Nature?)

Thanks Mark, I like your explanation about the composition and next time I'll compose it again. Something was bugging me in this picture I didn't know why, now I know.

Thanks Genny for your comments.

Welcome Jean! There is a lot of power there! I like Mark's composition suggestions.

The churning water power is certainly well captured. However I will have to move this to man and nature since there are obvious hand of man structures here.

Thanks John for your comment
Thanks Kah for your comment.

I like this better than the second photo. Despite the water flowing away from me, this is an emphatic statement on the power of flooding water to me. It has a nice gritty raw feel to it that I like. It does kind of drift off to the ULC in an anticlimax.

"Il n'y a pas de quoi"

Thanks Phil, I also prefer the first one.
