Greetings from the Critique Club!
Initial impression: Very well-shot dam, very safe, not taking any risks here. Inoffensive.
Technical: Good use of the ambient light. Interesting use of multiple shots with only changing the shutter speeds. Composition plays a bit safe, being so centred, but I like the bridge in the bg and it being slightly offset. I am not overly familiar with Topaz and how it works, but recognize that it has been used here to add a painterly effect esp to the foam on the water.
Artistic: Would have loved to see a different pov here, to give a sense of the size of the dam and the power of the torrent, something to draw the viewer in a bit more. Good capture of the textures.
Overall: Not a great shot, but a good one. Again, would have love to have seen more done to convey the power here, but nothing outstandingly bad either.
Feel free to PM me with any questions,
