favourite falls

Iguacu falls may be more spectacular but I enjoyed the visit to Victoria falls more.

That is magnificent Hans. You certainly get around.

I have been mistaken for the jolly old fellow by kiddies when the beard got away. I will see about the tax not peanuts, is it?
They have a clause which may put a spanner in the works.
goods purchased over the Internet and imported into Australia (do not qualify)
gift cards/vouchers (although goods purchased with gift cards/vouchers are eligible for a refund subject to all TRS requirements being met).

Yes have started notes.

Wonderful photo Hans. Almost like being there - sort of! I think the falls and surrounds need a bit of sharpening using my FREE Sharpening Brush PS action!

[HansE]

I find that a lot of the softness is caused by the water vapour so it adds to the atmosphere as I remember it.

[Isac]

Sorry Hans, please forgive me

[HansE]

Absolutely nothing to forgive, feel free to run a filter or two over it if you so desire.

Thanks Ross It was quite an experience to visit these falls "The smoke that thunders"

Beautiful Hans, I like the framing.

Thanks Brad, Anyone would come away with magnificent pictures from this place with the right weather and water conditions.

I was just looking at the image again and why I mentioned a bit of sharpening was because the foreground foliage is really sharp. Just a tad of my magical sharpening brush just on the top of the water and the edges of the ravine (to me) just gives it a bit more definition. Here's the settings. Download it and give it a whirl. The white parts of the mask is where I painted with white using a soft brush. As you can see I reduced the opacity of the mask to 58%.
