Had some fun with this photo in PS. Wanted it to look more power- and colourful. This is an experiment and I would like to hear your opinion. Please tell me what you think of it.

Wonderful use of shutter speed, Susanne. It almost has a ghostly look to the quickly flowing water. Nice deep color too.

I have seen a few other pictures on here lately, that have this look to the water. It's the slow shutter speed that does it, right? I like the way it looks, and makes me want to go out and try to create this effect myself. I don't have PS, so it probably wouldn't come out this good. Very nice, Susanne.

Yes, it is taken with slow shutter speed and early in the morning. It was still quite dark and that´s why the lights by the powerplant are still on (reflected in the water in the upper right)

Colors are really good. For some reason I find the red distracting. It keeps drawing my eye away from the beautiful waterflow. Excellent feel with the water. Very nice Susanne.

I'm of the same opinon as Tomeast, great comp! I'm not sure how much PS came into play, but the color is very good and the slow shutter speed certainly gives the effect of the fast moving waters.

The foam looks good, Susanne but the water is unnaturally blue. As for the power, it does project the real strength behind the flow.
