To me it seems tilted to the right quite a bit, may be about ten degrees. It is so much that it could not have happened by accident. Could you tell us about your reasons to do it? To me it is somewhat distracting. Otherwise I much like this picture.

A fitting representation of an awesome subject. It does lend a feeling of being off balance somewhat. Adds to the mystique, I think.
 
this image makes me mindful of how wonderful it must of been to stand where you stood near the base of these awesome falls .
 
Incredibile detail and gradation in the falls, especially at the top..... remarkable, indeed. I shall break out the stash of Acros and try it again. Forget the off axis crowd.... it is fine the way it is... beautiful.
 
Good stuff !
 
Hi All,

Thanks for the comments! Actually, the falls arent really off axis, thats they way really flow, but the camera position and lens make the tilt seem more extreme than it is in reality.

Its sad really, these falls are so little know outside of the village they are in. I found about it accidently several years ago & have been going back ever since.

Thanks again for the kind words.

Gary
