Wow. What a great shot. The softness of the water gives it a very special touch. Maybe I would have cropped a little bit more to get the small rock in the upper right corner just out of the picture. The upper pool would have a more limitless touch then...
Keep up with your fine work!

@Mirko Herzner: Excellent suggestion, Mirko ... cropping away a slice along the right edge certainly won't detract from the composition.

3 seconds exposure just enough to make the water look like silk. Well done Ron. Beautiful image.

GREAT ... Are you using a grey filter for these kind of photos (3 seconds exposure)?

Lovely. The soft tones of the water running over the rocks are cooling to the eye on this hot summer day. Nicely seen and captured!

That's clever Ron ! Because of the selective blur it's not easy to tell if this waterfall is huge or small... + lack of scale makes it uncertain ! Stunning colours as well !

The green contrasting with the effect of the water are stunning!

WOW - wonderful shot. The composition is perfect, and I love the long exposure time and the look of the water - did you use an ND filter?
18 Jul 2008 3:13pm
@Chris: No ND filter ... just my standard B&W UV and haze filter for lens protection.
Michael Rawluk from Prince George, Canada
I love the greens, especially that green that the water has taken on. And that moss. Gorgeous.

Very cool...I've always wanted to try a shot like this. Good to know you didn't use a ND filter...always thought you had to have one. Great job!

great capture! beautiful light and love how you captured the water with the long exposure. i disagree with Mirko, i don't think it would look good to crop the rock on the right out

Fabulous, Ron! The lighting is so lovely in this scene and it provides such interesting contrast. A joy to look at!

Very fine work. I agree that cropping out that rock in the upper right would be effective. The greens in the moss are wonderful.
