Sorry guys, I do a lot of Kayaking and the ripples created by a slow paddle are much more uniform and continuous in nature. I am not saying that the image is not well done, nor am I saying that it is not photography. I am only saying that there is no truth in photography.

Look, all in all a very nice composition and the colors are extraorinary. But let;s not delude ourselves. If this was a long exposure as Adam suggests, the water would NOT show as much movement and would in fact flatten out rather quickly. Remember, a waterfall show the frothy movement because the water is continually falling from the fall above.

 

The Kayak would be very blurred, it is not that sharp, but is not blurred to the point where it shows movement.

 

I don;t see the tree reflections as a major issue, but the fact remains this is a digitally manipulated image. No question about that. I am not saything this is bad, nor is it good, let;s just not delude our selves into thinking that this image is not based in truth.
