Beautiful capture Vincent. The shutter speed is perfect. The water is silky smooth with blowing out all the detail. Very sharp for such a long exposure. Stunning lighting.

TFS,

a splendid image captured in a superb composition.

it got all the elements to make this picture adorable - the perfect long exposure for the satin-like effect on the flowing water; the crisp clear and detailed textures on the rock wall; the green shrubs that break the dominance of the brownish colour of the rock.

the rocks at the FG lead the eyes to touring within the frame and no subject misses the sight.

impressive!

Hi Vincent,
I keep wondering why the water looks so creamy on most photos of running water in rivers...the texture is amazing!
Beautiful composition with magnificent colors, details and sharpness.

Hello Vincent.
Another amazing beauty from you. I love the colours contrast here. Cold blue of the water against warm tones of the rocks.
A tree in the centre is a cherry on a cake.
Wonderful!

Hi Vincent,

You have to hike to get these views? I guess I could become a hiker to get a shot like this.

I like the effect you have on the water... very calming and peaceful looking. The bottom and top portion of the photo could be used as individual photos too... very beautiful scene.

thanks for sharing, Lisa

This almost seems to go back into time:) Excellent sense of rugged terrain, softened by flowing waterand green growth amongst the rocks. Good POV and composition, etc. as usual. I hope you are working on doing something more with all your great images:)

Very nice Vincent - then water blur is very well done.. The vertical format again gives a good composition and the 1/3rds rule nicely..
Nice work

Hi dear friend,
incredible textures on the stones.
Don't know about the water texture,

Wonderfully seen and presented.
Have a lovely day.

Hi Vincent,
Again a fantastic exposition from the Zion Nat'l Park. The way that you represented the water is fantastic, beautiful enlightment. Sharpness and details are excellent on the redish rocks. It was also good to include the vivid green plants, it gives a ncie contrast. Well done, tFS!

Hey Vincent!
Superb use of the long shutter speed! The wonderfully created softness of the water complements very well the roughness of the steep rocks. A breath taking image!
Congrats!

This is one of the finest nature images I have ever seen, yes, I say that even after I remember Ansel Adams. The colours are dream-like. A stream through fairyland.

Hi Vincent,
A perfect shutter speed to make the water stop.Extra ordinary sharp with such a long exposure. It seems a land in the dreams only.

Wonderful shot my friend. Congrtas.
