Mike,
Excellent long exposure. The long exposure gives the water volume and motion. The lighting and colors are great with nice sharpness and detail.
I like your POV looking up the stream toward the waterfall.
TFS,
Asa

Hi Mike, the camera specs are not available, but difference would it make anyway? Clearly it is a long exposure and the difference of flow in the waterfall in the background is completely different from the flow in the foreground. This difference gives a very special impression to this shot. I just wish you had more light for a better contrast.
Regards, Peter
P.S. What is that hoya filter. SImply a circular polarizing filter or something else?

Hi Mike,
This image is absolutely gorgeous! Great colors and textures, very good long-exposure capture of the water stream contrasting with the upper falls, dramatic composition of stunning clarity. Goes directly to my favorites. I'm interested to learn about your settings, TFS!
Cheers,
Catalin

Hello, Mike--
Hmm... This is nice, but i think that i liked yesterday's better. The log that was so pivotal to yesterday's seems a little bit out of place today, almost cutting the composition in half, separating the top from the bottom. Overall i like how the composition leads from the top right to bottom left, this time with a brighter brown stick complementing the water at the bottom right, but the log's placement just feels a little off.
Thanks!
sam

Awesome! What else can I say? This is a great shot Mike. It's almost like two photos in one. The upper half and the lower half each could pass as there one photo, but you have captured the entire scene quite nicely.
Regards,
Ryan

Hi Mike
Mmmmmmm Love the water fall in the background and I'm wondering what the picture would look like with the water fall in the foreground cropped out? To me the back half of the picture is stunning. Perfect capture - Love it. Mmmmmm
