[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Iguazu means " great waters" in the native language.The natives still believe that the waterfalls were created in an outburst of rage of the god who lived in the violent area of the downpour called "GARGANTA do DIABO." ( DEVIL'S THROAT ) The legend says that "his" BEAUTIFUL daughter fell in love with a native Indian; so, to stop this marriage "he" created this HORRENDOUS WATER FALL in front of them while the native was canoeing away with his lover. The native quickly transformed himself into a tree so she could grab on to him to save herself. She failed; died. However, the legend goes further saying that THAT tree still exists listening to his lovers screams of distress within the falls.
The falls are close to where the Parana rivers join; &, this is where the boundries of Brazil, Argentina and Paraguay converge.
Many Native Indians of the area will swear the story to be FACT.

Hello Aires,
Wonderful landscape.I liked POV,large DOF,framing and composition a lot.
TFS...:-)

Olá Mario,
realmente só dá ver para crer, paisagem linda e estrondosa.
Um abraço amigo,
Nelson

Hello Mario, I think that is an interesting POV, but because the image is old and scanned has pour sharpness and with many dust; needs a PP treatment. I´ll try with a WS later.

Hello Aires,
One of the most impressive waterfalls in the world!
This is another point of view, which works quite well...
Composition is fine, maybe I miss a bit of sharpness?
Greetings,

Hi Mario. A very good perspective showing the size and might of these famous falls. Excellent POV and note about what we are seeing. TFS. Murray.
