Thumb-up Thumb-up    from richardgreene/Richard (4,239) Send mail to this user on May 16, 2012 5:57:04 PM CDT (1) Early critique

I agree with the previous critique. You didn't indicate the shutter speed, but on shots like this I usually find that 1/4-1/2 sec. is adequate to show the veiling of the water without turning it into a blur. I also agree that the water is a little too blue, and does not appear natural. The composition and sharpness is excellent, however.

Thumb-up Thumb-up    from cliffb/Cliff (4,153) Send mail to this user on May 16, 2012 5:12:25 PM CDT (2) Early critique

I like everything about this shot except the shutter speed. The composition has the water flow moving at a pleasing angle through the frame, and nicely exiting from a lower corner. Detail is good, and the contrast is nice. I would much prefer to see a faster shutter speed, so that the water still had enough detail of the flow to be recognizable as flowing water. As captured, the lower section of water has been transformed into a featureless blob. To my eye, this is very unappealing. The only other critique that I would have is that i would like to see the blue hue removed from the water, as this color does not give a natural look.

Hello Ismail, this picture looks not so fine to me. The water in the front looks to much like plastic, in the background looks better. The composition and colours are fine.
