Description

(Copyright Mel Steinhauer all rights reserved) Niagara Falls is actually the sum of three different waterfalls of the Niagara River. The American Falls, the Bridal Veil Falls and the Canadian Falls. About 90% of the water from the Niagara River flows over the Canadian Falls and produces much hydro-electric power as it plummets almost 200 feet to the gorge below. These falls have a width of over 2,200 feet and at this point the water is traveling at speeds up to 32 miles per hour. With an estimated 600,000 gallons of water going over the edge every second, quite often the mist created blocks the majority of the view. So I was very fortunate one day to see this awesome view of a natural wonder also known as ... Horseshoe Falls.

I created this image from my original photograph taken on location by adding digital enhancements, textures or other effects. These effects and image details will become more visible by clicking inside the green magnifier square as the cursor is placed over the image.

PLEASE NOTE: Our professional printing facilities have a feature for customers who desire artwork prepared for them to be in standard sizes such as 8 x 10, 11 x 14, 16 x 20, 24 x 30, 36 x 24 and so on. When you select your image to purchase, from the SIZE tab choose a VERTICAL, HORIZONTAL or SQUARE format. Notice that some portions of my original image may not be included in these cropped formats. The NATURAL format is the way I composed the image in camera or during final processing. Sometimes this would create an image size which required the use of non-standard mats or frames. So go ahead and see for yourself, by viewing my images in these new formats to decide which one may (or may not) best suit your needs or style of wall art. Of course, you may always choose the NATURAL format and purchase my art as it was originally composed and created.

Many thanks and best wishes!
