As much as this falls has been overshot, there's a good reason why it is shot so often. Here, I wanted to focus on showing the sheer power of the water hurtling down hundreds of feet and spraying everything in sight. I also wanted to show the scale of the falls by placing a six foot human right at the base.

Appreciate any thoughts you have on this.

Incredible Sairam! This would be pretty without the person but with the person there this truly makes this a memorable photo.

Sairam, I really like the degree of importance that you gave to the waterfall when composing your photo and also that the man's jacket doesn't distract from blue/white palate. Very nice!

Sairam: this is very well composed to emphasize the height of the falls. Having the man for scale was a great idea. Richard

This is a winner, for sure. The man makes the photo. I assume this is Iceland. I like the the shutter speed and colors. It works fine that he is in the middle since he's so far at the bottom of the image. Really nice to see a different take on these falls.

This is a very powerful shot Sairam. I like the blue colors and the perspective of the huge falls with the tiny man carries a great message.

I like this shot of this Icelandic waterfall. I was there last year without the snow. It is an impressive iconic waterfall and this picture does it justice. The blue jacket goes well with the blue of the water.
