Point well taken. In the actual slide, there is a bit of detail which gives the falls a bit of "history" which was not captured by my scanner - but I can see your point. The shot does look a bit like a "studio" shot with that dead black area on top, and some of that could be cropped (a bit - too much to me would crowd the beginning of the falls)
I do appreciate the comments. (that's what I was hoping to gain from this forum!)
