    A beauty of a scene...I'm no expert and I may not give a good critique on the comp.

    The shutter speed appears to be spot on with effective results. Great lighting,texture AND, the colors...would you call these earth tones?Very natural.
    Everything seems balanced, a nice diagonal flow is present... I keep looking at the yellow flowers clinging to the rocks.A neat contrast of color.
    Well done IMHO.

    Nice work, colurs and exposure are spot on for me.

    Just one minor thought - would it look better with a touch more green on top and a bit more on the right. Difficult for me to say as I wasn't there.

    Very nice (again like all your work)!!

    i like the exposure a lot specifically your choice of shutter speed. I find that many flowing water pics, including many of my own, are shot at too low of a shutter speed. The blur effect is cool, but in moderation. All too often a lot of texture is lost, just a smoothed/blurred out mess of water. You have blurred the water, but the texture is still sharp. I hope that makes sense.
    Please ask before editing my photos, I'll say yes



    I like to take the pictures...
