The blue tones are because all of this water was in late afternoon shadows and my post processing worked with those tones. I am endlessly fascinated by the qualities of water.

Enjoy.

Mikel...

I think you're becoming a minimalist, but in a good way. Can't think of a thing I would change to improve this shot. With the added exposure time, I'm surprised the little branch in the background was so steadfast. The little dip on the right adds a remarkable amount of depth to this shot.

Not sure how I would fix this or if it should be fixed, but the sliver of dark water at the top of the shot puts me off just a tad. Just a personal preference on that part of this beautiful shot.

Mikel, the by you chosen exposure time gives me the feeling that I viewing to a flooding. The branch is too far away to provide that one will be dragged by the fast flowing water.

Hope you and your camera stayed dry, lol.

Nice shot, if you love water that much, you have to participate in the Contest Water. I am sure you'll have interesting images.

I too enjoy the simplicity and colors. Almost reminds me of fast moving clouds too. I like the gradient of color tones as well.

The longer exposure shots on water are always fun ;) Nicely done Mikel. Although I feel like the branch should be included a little more and feels slightly misplaced in the perspective but I suppose if you included the top of the branch it might throw off the placement of the nice little dip in the water or include an unwanted back ground. I love the blue tones and the angle on the water. A very pleasant image overall :)
