Michael, nice composition and veiling of the water. I might suggest decreasing the exposure of the green moss in the lower center and left. I think the bright moss kind of pulls attention away from the water. The dark rocks on the left pulled my attention away in the smaller image trying to see what was in the darkness. However, the large image shows better detail in this area. Good job.

Beautiful imaging, Michael. Slippery stuff, I'm sure. I like the looking up sensation.

The large version works so much better, Mike. I was going to suggest opening up the shadows on the rock face on the left, but they look pretty natural in the larger version. The POV is fantastic as are the details and textures in the moss and the rock facing. Great work on this.

Viewing the larger view is a must. Excellent detail and color Michael. As others have said, great perspective.

Excellent capture - perfect perspective, translucent pool, and nice misty/cottony water.
Congrats on the WP!
