Ryan Magnumphotography in a pretty much typical pose - bent over from the waist, studiously composing a shot and of course the trusty Manfrotto tripod holding everything in place. This is a stream in the Gatineau Hills,one of his favourite places to shoot, and where he has taken me to shoot a few times too.

It's been a while Susan, since I've done a critique :)
Well done on the top 30 placing with this image.
I assume you were using a tripod also to get the nice blur of the water.
As far as composition is concerned, I think placing the subject in the centre of the frame has cost you a few points. I have a feeling that if you had chosen to use a horizontal orientation and included a little bit more of the river to the right of the frame you may have had a more dynamic photo which could well have pushed you over the 6.
Overall I think this is rather nicely done. Good job!
Bent over from the waist? lol I remember that shot. I discovered my trusty manfrotto reverberates in current!
Yeah, great finish Snaffles! Keep up the great work!
