Not Niagra Falls

...but it'll do:). This is my local falls that I've stalked throughout my project. I finally went back with my smaller lens, 15-55mm and was able to get all of it in one shot.

The light was all kinds of purdy, too.

I've fallen ill. Just a cold. But run down and sneezy and ugh. I can't sleep well I am so congested. Making soup for dinner now and praying for regular healthy soon!

I can see why you frequent them, quite beautiful! Fantastic image, the sunburst effect makes for a nice bonus!

[Taffy]

Wow Amanda! That rocks -- what a great starburst! Love the line of water going to it.

[Kathy]

Hope you feel better soon!! I hate a cold and blahs so much!! You could bake a turkey with my new recipe, that should make you feel better? ROFL!! I LOVE this photo, but it does look cold!! I hate the cold and it's gotten cold here, much sooner than it should have and it makes me want to go bake a turkey!!
I can never get a sun star like this!! I have tried so hard to and all I get is the flare!!! This one is so pretty!! FAV
Hope you feel better really soon!

[Lisa Villella]

Beautiful shot and another amazing starburst!

[summerfield]

drink lots of liquid, kiddo. and i mean lots! the photo is really great. have a special filter to make that sunburst?

[Tammy]

This is stunning! Are those hearts carved into the tree at the far right? I love that you caught them in there too!

[Gena Pegg]

Gorgeous light Amanda...I know what you mean about having the bigger lens. At times is just doesn't work as well. This works perfectly and love the surnburst!

[Simply Amanda]

@summerfield Nah, I just screw with the aperture. I want filters. They do amazing things to the sky. Thanks, I am a big drinker, so that's good;-). I do down tons of water regularly and have been drinking lots of hot tea, too. I should start on the oj. thanks!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@tabarlett They are...the first time I shot this place I called it I Heart the Falls or something like that. Love the hearts:).

[Andrew S]

Not everyone has Niagra Falls close by! This is just fine! Love that sunburst, too!

[Sheralee S]

Gorgeous sunburst Manda! Sorry to hear you're no well, hope you improve soon.

Such a beautiful shot, Amanda. Love those sun rays and the rush of the water. Take care, get as much rest as you can and plenty to drink. FAV

Get well soon. Gorgeous shot . So peaceful.

[Nicole]

beautiful shot! Love the sunflare!

[Kitti Nelson]

Lovely sunburst and delightful composition.

[Denise fuller]

This is stunning Fav

[Steve]

Nice compassion Amanda, but for me the star burst needs toning down as it takes the eye away from the main shot. It's there to compliment the waterfall not to dominate (in my humble opinion 😘) anyway hope you feel better soon and enjoyed the soup, always great for colds.

[Graham Thresher]

A super sunburst capture. Fav

[Sarah Munnings]

Hey Amanda, get well soon......this is one pretty waterfall. We don't have any near us:(

[Simply Amanda]

@scarybird I can see that. I tend to love light and have shot this many times and was trying for something different. I had shots with a smaller burst, but I lean toward the dramatic so I went with this. Thanks for your comments and thoughts, Steve.

[Jane Armstrong]

Such a beautiful shot. Nice one! Worth waiting for.

[carol white]

Lovely capture,a great sun flare:-)Hope you feel better soon:-)

[Catherine W.]

Oh no!!! Hope you feel better quick! Looks like there is a light at the end of the waterfall so that's a good sign!!! Fav!!!

[Joy Maguire]

Love how the sun shines through the tree giving off the star shape.

[Kareen King]

Love this shot, but the sunburst makes it super special. Fav.

[Bill Fenske]

I hope you get well soon my friend. I love the way the river leads to the sunburst.

[Bill Fenske]

Did you see my reply about 'the photographer"? I forgot to mention, that we didn't actually meet there, we met volunteering for the Sierra Club.

[Simply Amanda]

@bill_fe Thanks, Bill...the river is a small waterfall. Feeling a bit better today and got a good night sleep which was needed.

[Bill Fenske]

@amandal Glad you're feeling better.
