Well this is my first post in what i think is one the most though gallery to post (seeing the others phenomenal work)

Av- 18, Tv- 0.8, ISO- 50, Tripod, bit of levels adjustment in PP

C & C welcomed

Your shutter speed works really well here to convey the motion of the water. The yellow leaf adds a nice exclamation point of color, and the comp is very good with your use of diagonal lines. Well done!

I think this is very nice. Your comp is very pleasing and the water action looks painterly. The placement of the leaf looks natural as well. Nice job.

Simple and effective. Perfect splash of color in a perfect spot. The shutter speed also gives a really nice texture in the water.

Nicely composed and very effective. The water texture is great and really gives the scene a dynamic feel.

Not much to critique here. This looks well composed and captured to my eye. Simple, but yet effective... nice work!

Great comp and execution. The leaf looks perfectly natural and the shutter speed is right on. I think a little gaussian blur added to the water might make it even more effective.

Welcome to the ESS gallery Krunal. I like this image for its simplicity. Your choice of shutter speed is perfect to retain some detail in the water. Looking forward to seeing more of your work.

Fantastic is right! This is very good. So good in fact that I thought it was one of Lon's.

A beautiful picture with an intriguing contrast between the turbulent flow of the water and the still leaf... The only issue is that, at least on my screen, the whites look overexposed...
