I don't think you need to worry about the slightly skewed waterline, it could be straightened but it's barely noticeable.

You've done an excellent job in the composition here - beautiful layers: rocks, water, mountains, sky - all in strong parts of the frame, with the splashing water nicely offset and beautifully clear.

Perhaps next time a faster shutter speed would freeze the moving water even better and make them look like glass sculptures rising up?

Great idea though and beautifully executed - well done!!

A good experiment Christian that turned out well.
An interesting freeze frame of the moving water with a beautiful backdrop of the mountains.
We will forgive the slightly skewed waterline!!!
Tfs, regards Jean.

Hi Christan - nice view, great idea with the low POV..

2 things spring to mind - the horizon is tilted down to the left. Sometimes that can be used effectively, but it has to be seen to be deliberate which this doesn't appear to be.
Secondly the DOF - even at f10 isn't enough to get the stones in the foreground sharp which for this scene and idea I think that they need to be! Not knowing your ISO here - but I would suggest increase ISO,F stop and still keep a fast shutter for a frozen water splash..

I would recommend a tripod for setting these shots up too..

Anyway - great idea, beautiful scene and nice to meet you on your recent self-portrait recently too.

Cheers
David

Hi Christan
This is pretty cool....no pun intended....great timing to catch the water as it splashed up. The scenery...well it's beautiful because it Waterton.
