Montmorency Falls, Québec City, Canada.
The Montmorency Falls (Chute Montmorency) is a large waterfall on the Montmorency River near Quebec City. A suspension bridge over the crest of the falls provides access to both sides of the park.
The waterfalls are 83 meters tall, that is 30 meters higher than Niagara Falls. The falls are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite the western end of the Île d'Orleans. During summer months, the falls give off a yellow glow due to high iron content in the waterbed.
As the boat gently turned in the Saint Lawrence River, to head back to the old-town of Quebec City, I waited for just the right moment to see the massive Montmorency Falls framed by the towering Île d'Orléans Bridge. After I snapped the shot I thought I’d have an interesting photo. Looking now though, I’m disappointed. Two great elements but it just doesn’t work. Perhaps if there was a dramatic sky it would be better.
What do you do when you are hopeful for an image and it just doesn’t live up to your vision? What suggestions do you have for post-processing this one, to make it more interesting? I’d love to hear your ideas.

The Cour intérieure du Petit Séminaire de Québec, or inner courtyard, is a historic space located within the walls of Old Quebec. It is part of the architectural complex of the Seminary of Quebec, one of the oldest and most significant educational buildings in North America, founded by Bishop François de Laval in 1663. This courtyard, designed in a classical French style, was the heart of student and religious life, serving as a place of meditation and gathering for the seminarians. The courtyard is surrounded by stone buildings with tall windows, which gives it an atmosphere of solemnity and tranquility, and it has been a silent witness to over three centuries of history and education in the city.

It was at this location, beside the St. Lawrence River, that Samuel de Champlain established his "Habitation" in 1608, a settlement that would mark the birth of the city. The square quickly became the center of the colony's commercial and social life, surrounded by warehouses, merchants' residences, and the majestic Notre-Dame-des-Victoires, the oldest parish church in North America. Today, Place Royale is a meticulously restored site that evokes its past, with its red-roofed stone houses and unique architecture that testifies to the French influence. The square hosts a replica of the bust of Louis XIV, which gives it its current name. It is an iconic landmark that attracts visitors from all over the world.

This street, one of the oldest in the city, traces the path that led to this fortification.

The area surrounding the falls is protected within the Montmorency Falls Park (French: Parc de la Chutes-Montmorency).
The falls, at 84 meters (275 ft) high and 46 meters (150 ft) wide, are the highest in the province of Quebec and 30 meters (98 ft) higher than Niagara Falls. The basin at the foot of the falls is 17 meters (56 ft) deep. The falls are at the mouth of the Montmorency River where it drops over the cliff shore into the Saint Lawrence River, opposite the western end of the Île d'Orleans. The falls were given this name in 1613 by Samuel de Champlain. He named them in honour of Henri II, duc de Montmorency, who served as viceroy of New France from 1620 until 1625.

A suspension bridge over the crest of the falls provides access to both sides of the park as well as a spectacular view. There is also an aerial tram (Funitel) that carries passengers between the base and the top of the falls. In the summer the park hosts an international fireworks competition with the falls as a backdrop.
The remnants of earthen forts built by General Wolfe are located in the eastern portion of the park. They were constructed in 1759.
