Rick, I find myself wishing for a little bit more room on the right, but the lines, shapes and flow created by the long exposure and the tones from the B&W conversion are absolutely outstanding. Well worth the effort you put into it

This turned out really well! There are a couple of pure white spots at the base of the cascades I might try and do something with, but other then that, this is awesome!

Rick this is a captivating photo. It has great movement. And except for the those three really white areas it rocks.

Rick,

Excellent! I love the contrast here and I immediately thought of what a silver gelatin print from the darkroom days would look and feel like - perfect for that treatment.

Other than the already mentioned hotspots (easy enough to "fill" in some detail) this is a beauty.

Very nice Rick, excellent contrast and flow, definitely like it. Well done.

Thanks for comments from first post. Here is a little different pp with those in mind.

I ma not there yet but comments welcomed.

Rick,

Thanks for taking the time to rework. Looks to me though that it's a little over done. I liked all that texture in the original, it was just a couple of hotspots we're talking about. You might want to check out Harley's cloning technique which works very well fore blending back in some texture just in the blown highlights. Check it out.

Yeah, I like this strong conversion a lot, Rick! The contrast adds a lot of drama, and your comp leads me right across the stream.

Great b&w image and I really like the look of the large version. Nicely composed as well.
