Outstanding !
Tell me...
Does the slow shudder speed give the ghost like effect to the water?

I think the dead stuff helps make the photo interesting. It really depends on what you are looking for. I do get a good feeling from this photograph. It is nature untouched and unmanicured. The water is the renewing force. The center of the picture which give life to everything around it.

I like flowing water and you have done a good job at capturing the motion maybe a little too good, but that's just my taste and does not mean it's wrong. I associate this kind of picture with lots of life, if taken in the spring, and this picture has a little too much dead stuff and dull colors. lots of moss, ferns, and saturation gives life to forest pictures in spring. Good picture but not a wall hanger.

I really love the deep woods feel of this photograph. The composition is well done and the soft flow of the water enhances the expression. There is little that I would change, but the green is a little drab to me. Excellent work.

I reworked this one a little bit to better preserve the highlights and hopefully get a bit better color. It's not quite as contrasty as the old one, but I think it looks more natural now...

This is very pretty. I was just in the Uintas, in Northern Utah, and the runoff is pretty crazy this year. I drove across Northern Nevada and all the valleys are full of marsh in the bottom. I've never seen that before. It's usually so dry there.

I really wish there was detail in the highlights here. I can't tell if you overexposed and lost them, or it's just the processing. But the blown out water really bothers me. If there's any way to hold those highlights, it would be worth the effort.
