Spring flood season on the Mississippi at the Coon Rapids Dam, north of Minneapolis.

Since there is such large sections of both deep black and bright white, I thought that I might have some problems. On both my calibrated monitor at home and my cheap uncalibrated laptop at work I see detail in both.

Lovely job with the slower shutter speed. The key to these shots is having something it it that is in focus (which you have).

Nice exposure effect, and I like the B&W choice. 7

This might have worked better if the author has concentrated on the curve and sweep of the water rather than try to split the image in two vertically. Alternatively, more of the white water or more of the falls would have helped, although the lack of detail in the former might have hurt. A good entry into the challenge by comparison.

I am having such a hard time thinking of water as texture...but it is...for sure...really like the silky smooth of the "fall" and then the roughness of the water below...just seems a tad bright
