Challenge: Best of 2005 (Advanced Editing IV*)
Camera: Olympus C-2100UZ
Location: brook next to a road nearby
Date: Oct 20, 2005
Aperture: f5.0
ISO: 100
Shutter: 1/25 sec
Date Uploaded: Jan 7, 2006

 This was taken of a brook near a back road as I drove by after a heavy rain; didn't have a tripod so I leaned against a tree.. Cropped, levels, brightness/contrast, channels, unsharp mask...the stair effect of the rocks and water seemed interesting.

nice attempt, a longer exposure would make the water look more silkyer, color ok, great texture, good light, b&w need work, branchs in fg distracting, great flow, good comp, overall could be better

Nice choice of subject and composition. A longer shutter speed might have added some more softness to the water and given this a slightly less hard mood.

I love the way the branches of the trees, overlay the running water.....

Perhaps an even longer shutterspeed would have created a more pleasing rendering of the water. It is a nice brook, but the shot isn't very interesting as it stands. All this imo, obviously. Good luck!

Nice, a little busy with all the leaves and branches in front.

i like the motion blur here, but i feel like it's either too close (can't see the broad scope of things) or too far (too many extraneous branches around) to have a lot of impact.

A well exposed water photo, although I think it would better with a slightly slower shutter speed so that the water was even smoother.
