Cohoes Falls on the
Mohawk River in
Cohoes,
New York during winter, but after a warm spell, which caused local melting, adding to the typical seasonal flow of the river.
Reason
High quality panorama of
Cohoes Falls during winter, showing the old electric plant (currently owned by Brookfield Power) on the left. It shows the flow of meltwater during a warm spell in winter. Complete with a partial rainbow on the right.
Oppose The composition isn't very good, you either need to find a spot where you just get the waterfall, or alternately pick a vantage point where you can include both the power station and the waterfall. Technically there is periodic banding across the top of the image, visible at thumbnail size, probably caused by exposure variations across the frame (set your camera to manual). None of the verticals are straight. I believe the program you are using will let you define vertical and horizontal control points in order to fix this sort of distortion.

weak oppose a lot of detail there. A bit drab to shoot it in the winter. Feels tilted CW. I think I can see different tones in the segments of the sky.

Oppose Good observations by Noodle Snacks. The far left in particular is really too soft and distorted IMO.
