Thank you, Kevin. Thank you, Ellen, Bill, Doug, Kumiko, Linn and Melinda. Always pleased when someone likes one of my pics. Your comments are appreciated! It was our first daytrip to the Falls in years. The photo ops are overwhelming!
Dov Oron commented on August 06, 2009 14:22:
awesome shot! draws you into the drama,a pity there was not more contrast in the conditions, but still fantastic - congrats!!
Kirsten Kjaer commented on August 06, 2009 14:29:
What a wonderful capture of the Maid of the Mist and the falls behind it. It's GREAT in black and white. Huge congrats on a wonderful potd, Mike.

Dov, I added a tiny bit of contrast but felt it was as far as I could go. Any more, and the mist hovering over the aptly-named boat, itself, disappears. Glad you liked it!
mike marshall commented on August 06, 2009 15:07:
Thank you, Kirsten. It's actually quite nice in colour, too. The raincoats everybody's wearing are a middle blue. Bit more drama in B&W. Glad you liked it, too!
Mustafa Kizilcay commented on August 06, 2009 18:32:
Fantastic image with huge depth and dramatic background, Mike. Congratulations on this fine POTD!
Caj Källmalm commented on August 06, 2009 18:37:
Looks like a great choise to put in B/W. Sometime, Niagra falls are one of the places I'd love to visit - your photo is a wonderful one to watch while I await that moment... congratulations to your POTD!
mike marshall commented on August 06, 2009 20:01:
Thanks, Mustafa and Caj. Mustafa, that's just a bit of the foot of the falls on the American side but it hints at the majesty. Caj, hope you make it someday because there's such a variety of things to shoot. One could spend days trying to capture everything the Falls has to offer.
Raymond Pauly commented on August 06, 2009 20:21:
Very nice photo and B&W presentation! Reminds me of long a go... when I visited the falls as a little kid... I would surely like to go back again someday... Congrats!
Robin-Lee Vieira commented on August 06, 2009 21:14:
This is a superb capture Mike. The boat provides wonderful scale..the B&W rendering adds greatly to the mood of this very dramatic image. Congrats Mike on an excellent POTD!
Evy Johansen commented on August 06, 2009 22:55:
This is a wonderful b&w, Mike!! Big congratulations on your POTD!!
mike marshall commented on August 07, 2009 00:19:
Thanks, Raymond. Glad the photo brought back some good memories. Depending on how young you were, you might recognize parts of Niagara Falls but much is new, especially around Fallsview Casino, with sort of a Vegas vibe. I grew up about 30-minutes away and Niagara Falls is much different now.
mike marshall commented on August 07, 2009 00:24:
Glad you enjoyed it, Robin and Evy. Robin, I thought of you when the decision to go B&W was made.;-)
Patrice Cigallio Wesa commented on August 08, 2009 23:41:
The intensity of the falls in the BG & the patterns of the water make this image quite fascinating & dramatic, Mike, congrats. Great capture of the boat in the FG too...would love to be in it. Am just getting the opportunity to gaze at this week's winners now.
mike marshall commented on August 09, 2009 03:41:
Pleased to read that you enjoyed this image, Patrice. We had a great time taking pics at the Falls. Hopefully, another one or two will show up here in the near future. Thanks for your comment, Patrice.
