Between calm and rush

What a great photo! The S-curve is great since it takes the viewer's eyes around the space of the shot and draws them the way to the back of the photo. The depth is amazing! The reflection of the houses is of course the best thing about this shot, since it adds duality between man-made structure and nature. The amount of blur is perfect here; long enough to give the rushing water a silky texture while not too long to blur the reflection. I would've walked right by this without even thinking of taking a shot. Very well seen and well executed.

Well done!

I can only agree with Mr. Kwan's comment.

Great reflection and composition!

wonderful work.

I absolutley love this picture. I could stare at it for hours. Great composition.

Technical excellence; original POV; grace in composition. Congrats.

I'm glad to see you present this excellent shot on this forum. As I said at dpreview (a month ago?) I like the contradiction between still and running, peaceful and turbulent, clear reflections of buildings and blurred water, simplely wonderful, not to mention the color harnomy and excellent composition.

I like the reflected buildings that we can't see at all other than in the reflection.
