Hans, I like the image very much. You really feel the water is coming right at you. The weeds also add to the sense of movement. I didn't see if you used a polariser. If you did there was a good chance you could of eliminated the glare on the water....

Very lovely water scene. We need some glare in the water to evoke movement. I love the weeds, they aso look like zoom blurred :)

HI Dave and Fabs,

many thanks and yes, I have used a polarizer at full strength.

Hi Bernd,
I am leaning with Dave on this one......but since you used the polariser.....you may want to just tone down some of the glare......mostly because it is so centralized. The flow is very nice here and I suspect the greenery got soft from the 1 second exposure. I may have gone with even more DOF to further make the greenery impressionistic......but I think you handled this nicely as presented.

Simply fantastic image. Especially loved the movement in the algae/weeds in the water - that's what makes this image different.
