(Example D) Lower Falls of the Yellowstone River, 250mm medium telephoto range, vertical framing

The waterfall dominates this vertical image, as it crashes down into the canyon and sends the deep blue Yellowstone River surging through the gorge. This is the first view of the waterfall as an abstraction. I have removed the top of it, thus increasing the sense of downward pressure. The amazing detail in the huge cliff just to the right of the waterfall is stressed for the first time, and the river returns to the frame as well. This image is more about energy, and less about scenery.
