Description
The magnificent Stirling Falls at Milford Sound.
Stirling Falls is nestled at the base of a mountain called Elephant Trunk which faces another mountain called The Lion. At 151 metres in height, these falls are three times the height of Niagara Falls. Niagara Falls trumps this with its width, however.
In this image, I have presented the base of the falls. The wispy shape of the falling water resembles ghostly figures suspended in animation, and the impact of the spray then creates the illusion of broken glass on the lake. Keen-eyed observers may discern shapes resembling faces, or skulls, in the mist; a tortuous ghostly face screams out in eternal agony as cloaked and hooded faceless figures look on at the spectacle before them.
I got sprayed from head to toe in the process of making this photograph. It was definitely worth the slight discomfort.
Canon EOS 5D Mark II, Canon EF 17-40mm f/4L USM
1/60s f/5.6 at 40.0mm iso400
Edit: stoked at my second Daily Deviation. Thank you so much

Overall
Vision Originality Technique ImpactThis picture is absolutely breathtaking for several reasons.
First of all, the details that you have captured in this picture with the long exposure is wonderful. I love how the motion of the waterfall and rivulets of water on the rock are captured and frozen in your shot.
Next, I love the color (or lack of color). I'm a big fan of black and white pictures! Despite the lack of color in this picture, there is excellent contrast in this picture to allow for the gray scale coloration to work so well.
All in all, I think this picture is wonderful. I hope you will eventually make this available as a print on dA.
