Nice work Hal. My fave is Iguazu!
I just spent the day outdoors in 92 degree temp, this photo essay was very refreshing, interesting and I loved the photos. Great job!
Iguaçu waterfalls are my favourite, I’ve seen both Brazilian and Argentinian sides, there are no words to describe such beauty.
The picture of the Queulat Glacier waterfall in Chile is very shocking =/
Wow, wish I could visit all of them. Got some Alaska waterfalls here:

That’s a horrible photo of Kaieteur, couldn’t you have found something better? Like this: http://photography.ramkarran.com/kaieteuroverland/e34ff72b4 or this: http://photography.ramkarran.com/p695687297/e63cf750
Beautiful photos! I especially love the aerial shot of Niagara Falls.
SON TODAS HERMOSAS, PERO LAS MAS LINDAS SON LAS NUESTRAS, LAS DEL IGUAZU, DEL LADO ARGENTINO.
amazing!
I have seen a picture of Seljalandsfoss waterfall, Iceland from a different perspective. It is probably the most photographed falls I guess. I would love to see an article coming up with all the falls from India, or probably no one else writes about it I would wish to write about it in less than a year. Great photographs.
