Thank you for submitting your photo to Free Study VII, DPChallenge.
A great landscape capture. A surreal almost feel to it. The color and tone have a great appeal.
You have selected to focus I assume, on the aspects of the water in this shot. However, the tree branch in the lower portion of the frame is a bit distracting. It takes the eye away from the main portion of the image. A closer crop would have helped the photo maintain its easy flow so to speak.
I like the long exposure technique. It makes the water puffy and soft. Giving it a dream like feel. I also like the different shades of color on the water. It has different shades of the same color, from light to dark. Too bad you didn't record the camera settings. It would help later on if you went back to the reshoot. I would assume that the shutter speed on this, has to be at least 1 second or more. I am guessing here. The surrounding landscape area appears a little blurred. So perhaps you didn't use a long exposure. The use of a tripod would have helped if you took it hand held.
Overall a great capture. Great colors, a different cropping would have given it more appeal.
Thanks for all comments. This stream has about 10x's amount of water runnng through than normal. The main part of the stream is just rushing with water. I took this couple of hours before the challenge started, it was the first day in 20 with out rain.......Thanks again......ace
I really like this picture. It has a calming feel to it. The only thing that I might change is the tree limb in the front. I find it a bit distracting. Good luck!
