Crystal River
This is from a couple years back that I never processed, I don't like the movement in the trees which was from doing a 30 second exposure, wish I had another exposure without the 10 stop on...think it's noticeable?

Like that blur in the water. Nice color as well.

The color in the water is really nice in this David! I lie the trees jet changing color as well.

I can see the movement even in this small version and it is a little bothersome. With motion I like tons or stillness, just my preference.

I agree the color is very nice. And I agree with Jeff on movement, although that won't stop me from posting something with a little movement either. :biggrin: I think the bright area of the water is more of a distraction, but water is so hard to get in 1 exposure. Have you tried an exposure blend of different exposures for the water and different iso settings for the wind movement?

That's what I would do now Morris, unfortunately this was a couple years back when I barely knew what I was doing :biggrin: I did bracket though surprisingly, here's another go at it

That looks more natural on my monitor.
