Taken on a very cold day, with very cold wind, in a very cold part of our area. Used a tripod to prevent camera shake, and a slow shutter speed to "blur" the water. Taken at a falls that goes into the West Fork of the Pigeon River between Canton and Brevard, NC

Way to go Karma ... This was one of my highest rated images this week. Glad to see somebody knows how to use their F717 properly :) Good luck in the upcoming challenges!!!

OOPS... You have a DSC F707 ... Oh well close enough ... Your work is getting better all of the time ...
challenge met. beautiful contrast between the flowing water and the still and sharply focused rocks. nice contrast in tones, too. the water has a nice flow through the photo, and the frame works well, too. i wouldn't change a thing. my top 3 this week! :)
Probably the nicest running water photo in this challenge (although there may be more I haven't seen yet!). You hit exactly the right settings to get that water looking glassy and spectacular, with the rocks beautifully sharp and perfectly exposed. I think the border is a little bit too thick, but this is going to be a 10 from me.
Wow! This is quite possibly the best and most interesting composition I've seen for a 'creek shot.' I love how it starts in upper right and runs out of the lower left corner! Motion blur on the water is great too. Fabulous work :) -12
Nice motion. I would like to see it a little lighter, I suppose that was difficult to do with your long exposure. I just think quite a lot of detail has been lost in the rocks which assist in making the "water" picture.
"WOW'! You sure have the "wow" to this one. Beautiful colors with nice sharp focus, showing the texture of the rocks beautifully. And the water appears to be rushing with such a magnitude of force. This goes in my favorites for sure. A 10 from me. PTL
Wonderful shot! The colors and contrast are very good and the feel of rushing water really comes through with your slow shutter speed. You couldn't have done a better job with the composition either.
I could say that the only reason that this water looks like this is because of human intervention. NO WHERE will you find water that naturally occurs like this. However, I supose if I were to be THAT picky, then I'd have to complain about all the shots cause they were taken with a camera. So, I wont be. That being said, I think it's a nice shot, but I still don't prefer the water to look like this. It's technically well done, but not my cup of tea. Definately a nature shot for sure. I think that the lighting is good, and the angle and framing/cropping are good as well. Overall it's a nice shot. Good luck in the challenge.
