That wasn't expected......I envisioned a bridge with Skiddaw in the BG......the usual landscape shot. This is so different and is like a drop of mountain water (pun fully intended! :biggrin: ). The comp is spot on for me and you have the right amount of blur in the water with lots of detail in the rocks. Could & should be a classic.

I'm not a fan of blurry water, I think it was an excuse used by early landscape photographers because they had to use slow film and long exposures, so they said it was to convey a sense of movement. :eek: :wink: I much prefer a fast shutter speed to
capture the briefest instant possible of the moving water to reveal nuances you wouldn't see otherwise. Rant over, the comp is great. :biggrin:
