I cropped it because of the distracting reflection of the sky at the very bottom.

The swirl is not the fish. It is a lot of fallen leaves that got trapped in the current. The exposure was set for 30 seconds. I accomplished the exposure by stacking a circular polarizer with a 3 stop neutral density filter and shooting at f14 at ISO 100. The shot was taken at about 9:30 in the morning. |

One of the best shots I have seen here on dpc. I absolutely love the colours, the movement, the warmth, the joy and serenity of this shot.
Fantabulous shot, wonderful achievment. Was really happy when I clicked on that 10 :) |

Wow Justin, look at you go! :D
I didn't realize there was anything like this at the gardens. I've only been there once, but I was disappointed with the place and haven't been back. It certainly looks a lot different in your photo. It's a very dynamic image. Well done!

Um..... never mind... I was mistaken. I thought I had clicked on the "Wind" challenge... (I prolly should not drink before commenting) I apologize for any comment that was inapropriate (and in retrospect... it seems all of them were) as a long exposure it was just fine for the challenge... as wind it was not. But it was not entered in wind....
move along... nowt more to read here

| Well this was the "Long Exposure II" Challenge and not the "Wind" Challenge. Sorry if your upset that the voters voted correctly and you are the one who missunderstood. |
|
|
|
11/12/2006 09:28:25 PM |
As nicely done as this is... it is not wind... it is water. Who the heck votes on these things? Are they friends and such? Are they voting on a purely, "Purdy things" scale?????? It is a whirlpool... W-A-T-E-R...
Sorry if I took a bit of shine off your ribbon... but are the voters actually thinking? The challenge was wind. You submitted a water shot... Maybe I just don't get it.
And yes, wirlpool does have an "h" in it...
I just don't get it....
Wind... water..... maybe ya could have won first place with a fire pic...
I just don't get it... |
