Rock in Cumberland River

NIce attractive shot Bill. Pure simple composition with a shutter speed just slow enough to soften without being overdone.

Thanks so much ... it's funny, my most important person in my life was just telling me how much she hated this and I was thinking about deleting it. You got it a reprieve!

Very showy picture

So, I was trying to make a little abstract of this rock in the

middle of the river. It's gotten some really mixed reactions ...

what do you think?

I am glad you did,nt delete it, its a very attractive shot.

I like what you did with the motion. It's very arty.

Excellent shot here, one that I would be very proud to show if it were mine. In most pictures of rock and rushing water (it's hardly an original photographic idea, as I'm sure you're aware) the rock always seems almost impermeable to the powerof the onrushing water. But the rock here (perhaps because of it's high key coloration) seems to be holding on desperately against the overwhelming force of the current. In fact, it almost looks like the head of an animal of some kind swimming for its life. The whole picture including the rock seems to be in motion.
