Wow! The stones are "jewels". LOL I love them, they are so beautiful and colorful. They are so familiar to me. The water is great, I can hear its sound. Amazing shot, Billy.
Yes, Billy, I do like the use of the slower shutter speed. Unfortunately now you have all that motion blur with the boulders moving around. :-)
As noted on my comments of the first version, I still am having problems with the cloned in sky and the gonads.
This one's a keeper, Billy. I hate to say it, but I actually have been missing the VB. This one gets a 7.5 which is (or was) a high score since I never awarded a 10 and only a few 9's.
If the color of that blueish rock on the right hasn't been tampered with, I would have to find a way to take it home with me. All the rocks are pretty. Nice work.
I love slower shutter speeds on moving water shots. It creates a great look. Excellent work on this, Billy. I really like that blue rock, and the colors in a lot of the other ones. Very nice shot.
I've compared the two images, and like to say that I prefer slightly this one, not only because of the slower shutter speed but because it's a more detailed image as well. At full screen size it's even more impressive than your previous one, Billy. Both shots however are excellent ones.
The reason why the sun sets in the evening is because it wants to see the sunrise in the morning. I rise in the morning because I want to see them both. RvdB
