Photographer’s Note

While taken at the base of Bridal Falls, this is not of the falls. Instead, the smaller run off area was nicely shaded and had great potential for long shutter experiments one of which yielded this one. I wanted the nice flow from the water but also included the intricate knotwork on the right side.

Perhaps it's a little too busy, what do you think?

Aside from the crop, I used levels make the blacks "black", increased the saturation and sharpness.

I like the contrast between the softness of the water and the sharpness of the rocks and trees. It is a little busy but I think it's a neat shot. Well seen. For me, the colouring seems a little too yellow.

The thumbnail does not do this one justice. It is a bit busy, but I think the water sort of ties things together for you. If the water were not there, then it would be difficult to find something to fix the eye on. The slow shutter speed creates a softness to the water that makes it attractive to the eye and easy to follow.
