Wow this is a really great shot - great use of combined exposures, you're unlucky this wasn't top ten. WTG representing the north - there are too few of us! P.s cheers for the comment - you sussed me out.

After scoring and going through these pics I really like yours and have to bump it up a notch to 9. Don't know if a bit longer exposure(smaller Aperture or ND filter) would have made for an even nicer shot with the water in the lower pool glazing over.

What you have here is lovely, but I wish there was more for this challenge. The framing which cuts off the top of the bridge or viaduct keeps the focus on the water, but I wish I could resolve what the structure was. Also the name Healey Dell is fine as a photograph, but is not well enough known world-wide to stand alone. This is a lovely subtle image, but it whispers where postcards tend to shout.

Nice shot, the bridge IMO is a little distracting. I don't know if less bridge or more bridge would have help it or not. Maybe a different angle.

Nice exposure on the river, a lovely scene. Where is Healey Dell? Maybe including the state/country, etc would make it more like a postcard.
