I stumbled across this location on the way back from a photoshoot. I took several shots of this gorgeous location and then decided to try some time exposures. In addition to the settings listed I also used a ND4 and a polarizer. I then added a soft filter and adjusted the BC just a tiny bit then crop for print.

Thank you for the comments!! Now that I look again at the photo I do see the skew or the trees leaning. I know that the camera was purfectly level as I used the leveling buble on the tripod. Thus I'm not sure why the photo looks skewed( any thoughts???) As usual I over sat every photo but in this particular case I oversat the photo because I had it printed on canvas which desats the photo some.

I would have to disagree with the sky comments... looking at the photo closely it is exactly as I remember it. Perhaps its a bit off looking because the photo was taken at about 8000 feet????

Again thank you all for the comments!! PLEASE continue offering thoughts.

looks like a beautiful place, but i think you took the processing just a bit too far.

Very pretty! I always love the sharpness of the landscape and the softness of the water!

beautiful location - the colors seem a little oversaturated for me - but the long exposure is a nice touch

nice compo, the colors are strange ... to much cyan in my opinion so it looks unnatural ... the greens are okay

The trees at the top of the stream are *just* tilted, detracting from the image. The clouds also look too blown out. I do like the effect of the water washing over the rocks.

Your horizon seems crooked as all the trees are leaning to the right, and your processing has pushed the image over the top and taken away from its natural beauty. Good Luck.

A nice scene but the colours, especially the blues, don't seem right.

IMO, the photo looks overprocessed. Nice composition
