I had a friend help me stitch this, my machine just couldn't handle the file size. It's composed of about a dozen 21 mpx images, taken vertically. I was standing on the trail just before the drop. The sun sets in the distance and the colors of twilight spread evenly across the land, eliminating shadows and shade alike.

Often described as a "must see" for tourists entering the Northwest Territories by road. Alexandra falls at twilight, during the Hay River Arts & Music Festival. A scenic 2 kilometer walk along the river is available here with a well manicured trail. If you walk further north you can see Louise Falls.

Good looking scene. The trees look to be much darker than the foreground, even though they're situated very close to one another. That leads me to believe that you used a graduated filter to pull back the sky? I'd try to dodge the trees a bit to pull them up. The sky looks a bit off, especially around the center tree (brush marks?). Very nice view...just a few tweaks to make it a wallhanger.

Great shot(s), Karl. This is a view not often seen; usually it's the full front face of the falls. I had no idea there was a canyon like that downstream. Well done.
