Challenge:Water (Advanced Editing I*) Camera:Olympus D-550Z Location: Old Town Park, Lansing, MI Date: Dec 13, 2003 Aperture: f4.4 ISO: 200 Shutter: 10/130 Galleries:Landscape, Nature Date Uploaded: Dec 14, 2003
An absolutely beautiful choice of location for a flowing water shot. I think this exposure is spot-on - a longer exposure would have robbed us of that dynamic gushing of the water. A very minor negative - I find the thick, dark border unpleasant - enclosing and claustrophobic. But the photo is excellent.
The rocks are beautiful. They have some really nice colors. I like the way that your eyes follow the water down the creek/river. Definitely has a flow.
Wow, this is awesome. This looks so "real" like I'm standing right there with my feet in the water. Excellent, keeping everything in focus. The only thing I'd recommend is you should have cloned out the tan stick in the upper-left. It sticks out like a "sore thumb". Great anyway. 8.
This is simply spectacular. It is my favorite of the challenge. I love the red rocks.
When shooting water movement I find it critical to pick the right shutter speed for the ideal effect. You managed to hit it perfectly here. 10
wow, wow, wow... Just a fantastic shot! I love it! No doubt, it´s one of my favourite pictures of this week. I hope see it in the top 10 of this week. Congrats of a brilliant work. Keep the good work. 10
Very nice shot, crips & clearly in focus. Not sure if you were going for the effect, but a longer exposure would have soften the water up a bit giving a ncie contast from the hard rocks. Just a suggestion.
