Gus, I love it. Just the right amount of blur on the water and the green in the water is beautiful. Congrats.....

Gus, This is very nice- I too like the colors in the water -they compliment the rock colors nicely-I love the milky white water

Oh wow Gus, that's a beauty. As Richard says, you have just the blur on the water is spot on, just enough to blur it and give it that dream-like quality ut not too much to make it look unreal. Fabulous job.

Cheers.

Love the colours in the water. especially when it goes over the rocks. Like your SS of 1/45 just leaving enough motion in the water to suggest its' power.
