Absolutely fantastic shot. So much power in those falls and the person just enhances the size and ferocity. Big congratulations on the feature.

Wow. When I went, there wasn't this much water! The inclusion of the figure is perfect as it really gives incredible scale.

Skogafoss in all its ferocious beauty. You should have visited it in sring to have THAT volume of water falling down! Powerful shot.

Behind The Lens
Location
This picture was taken at the Skogafoss in Iceland.Time
I took it in the afternoon when the light was coming from the side.Lighting
The lighting was adjusted to the bright water of the waterfall.Equipment
I used a Nikon D800 with a 28-70mm zoom lens @28mm - f2.8 - 1/2000sInspiration
The Skogafoss it self is a very fascinating place but what really inspired me to take that shot was the comparison to the human. It make us look so tiny ...Editing
I did some moderate processing to enhance the contrast.In my camera bag
Although I used a zoom lens for that shot, I usually use fixed focal lenses with a high intensity of light.Feedback
Since a Waterfall is a moving thing, the exposure time has a great impact on the outcome of the image. You can take some test shots with different times to find out wich fits best. To be sure to have the right setting use S-mode.
