Awesomely unique Pieter! You have captured the moving water exceptionally well which is no mean feat. But, you must explain how you climbed over the railing to get that view LOL.

Pieter, are you from that area. I grew up in Buffalo, about 15 minutes from that spot. Nice work so far.

I am from Alberta originally too! :) And though I've never seen the Niagra in person, you are doing wonderfully on the piece. Looking forward to seeing the finished product!
