I realised that the Image I posted was too dark to see.

Here is the repost. Now I know not to post late at night with the lights off!

Cypress Falls

What was your exposure time on this? It's obviously pretty short (that's a very fast lens, and the frozen water is clearly frozen in motion).

I'm loving your work, KP: nice composition, good subject material. All around lovely.

Cypress Falls

Thanks for the comments!

It was a 1/40 sec exposure. I wanted the water to not be perfectly crisp, nor a smooth blur. I felt if it was a smooth blur (tripod long exposure), then the turbulent look would be lost. But if the water was too crisp, it might not look realistic.
