Oh yeah, just the right amount of motion. I can just hear this stream.

Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours... Mike

Christal,

you selected the correct shutter speed to get this beautiful effect on the moving water.  Well done.  

Love this one. When viewed large the water is so 'alive'!!! I like to see some of the 'action' of water rather than see it soft. The water works well with the textures. This one would look great framed!

Some of the water actually looks like brush strokes, has to be viewed larger to fully appreciated! (It might be worth mentioning that next to the title, as I'm sure some people just flick through the photo's without getting the full benefit)  One other little tip, is to give the image a title, it doesn't have to be deep and meaningful, just something that you can relate to. I find this makes it so much easier to find them at a later date.

Very well done Christal!

+1 to Alf's tips....

You're right of course.  I usually name my images, and I also usually indicate to view them larger.  But honestly I'm struggling so much with getting images loaded on that look decent.....still trying to figure it out......so I was just preoccupied and didn't do it this time.  I can't understand why the smaller version looks so bad.  When it looks that bad I'm sure most people won't even bother to click on the larger view.  Oh well!  Thanks, as always!
