Trying to show something a bit different. Not sure this has really worked but wanted to show to see what others thought. I had tried varying the exposure for variety in the bubbles within the water. Comments and any critism welcome.

Hi Ian,

Nice to see something a little different!
Very nice, the water movement is just right for me and good splash of colour too :smile:

I think it works nicely, the twig really makes it.

I think this is great. Just being able to see picture is enough. I should open my eyes a little more. Great stuff!.

I love it! Composition, colours and movement just sublime. However! I think I'm seeing something that has plagued my recent attempts at landscape. Did you use a small aperture? I'm seeing loads of dust spots that wouldn't be seen with a wider aperture. Hope I haven't got this terribly wrong - I googled it when I had the same problem. Mine was much worse because the image was light in colour.

Love the patterns made by the water and the central focus point really works well,very nice and different Ian :wink: :wavey:

I really like this one Ian. The composition is spot on and the chosen shutter speed has captured just the right amount of movement. The piece of twig / leaves has given an extra focal point which has emphasised the directional force of the water and makes the whole image stronger.

Hello Ian, great use of slow shutter speed here producing a lovely composed image ( looks as if your sensor needs cleaning though, ref. dark spots at base)

Very nice indeed. Shows what a little imagination can do. :smile: :wavey:

I like the contrast between sharpness and movement blur.

Hi Ian

I love almost everything about this image, apart that is from the green leaves/twig which just looks a little tired and bedraggled. The rocks/sense of movement in the water is wonderful but the twig just distracts for me too much. Did you get any without it?

Cheers

Andy

Never mind the dust spots Ian :biggrin:

It's a super shot, but I too would prefer it without the foliage - the shot doesn't need it as the rocks do a good enough job as a focal point..
