In the Flow

About the perfect shutter speed and it has  a nice flow to it.
Beautiful color tones in the rock. I always want a wider view when I look at these kind of photos....

Your shutter speed created a very interesting pattern in the water.  It's like you can see individual lines of water flow. Also, a very artistic looking image.  Well done.

Wow, I really like this one. The composition is really not that overwhelming. But the craftsmanship with the rock is absolutely remarkable. I suspect the image of the rock looks better than the rock itself! Beautiful detail and luminosity. I might even consider doing a closer crop of the rock and not have that flow at the very bottom. Beautiful work.

Beautiful, Preston.  I hate to say that about anything named Harley's rock .  The detail and presence of the rock as the stalwart in this chaotic flow makes this comp work very well for me.  I like it a lot .

A very well crafted shot, Preston. The shutter speed is very well chosen. Only nit would be the slightly busy part of water at the top of the frame. I wonder if you could stretch the topmost 10% of the frame a bit to move that bit of foam out of the frame?

Preston, a nice rendition of my rock.  I might experiment with warming up the my rock a bit?

My lawyer will be contacting you for royalties due. 

This is exceptional IMHO Preston.  Absolutely prefect shutter speed to show the power of the flow but still maintain detail and texture.  Great details also in the rock and the lighting is so nice on the rock.  Well done.

Shutter speed excellence! You chose the right ss to really capture those patterns while still retaining detail, sweet! I do feel the small bright part in the ulc is  a bit of an eye magnet, so I would probably burn that part a bit.

Great lines and swirls in the water, and interesting boulder
Nice light snd perfect SS.
Sweet!

Perfectly shuttered, the water swirls and textures are super nice. And the rock itself makes a great central point. It all looks a bit green for my tastes, perhaps try it a bit more cyan/blue for comparison?

A fine contrast between the stability of the boulder and the flowing water, Preston.  I like the ss as it retails lots of detail in the water but shows some nice motion.

Really love the swirl! It goes to show that the simplest of images often attract us the most :)

Love this rock Preston!  And of course the the color, flow and even texture of the water surrounding this rock just makes for a great image.

Very nicely processed too.  I'm stretching to find something to suggest.... perhaps a very slight burn of the churning water in the ULC.  I wouldn't even classify as an eye magnet, just something to consider.

Well done sir!  I always stop here on my way in to the Valley.

Beautiful light and color, plus great shutter speed for the water. I love these kinds of photos, an example of standing firm in a turbulent time, or something.  These photos are surprisingly difficult to get right, and you've certainly done it here.

I think you've picked a good exposure for the flow of the water here. The shapes created by the turbulence enveloping the rock is pleasing. In this case, I like the contrast between the flow of the water and the solid detail of the rock. Good composition and placement of the important elements. Nicely seen.

Very nice, right on with shutter speed. Excellent.

Beautiful and very dynamic image! The SS is perfect holding just enough texture in the water while displaying the movement and force of the water. Processing looks very natural. I would agree with Lon on trying to burn down the upper left corner a bit but this is very minor.
