Hi Niek,
I found very appealing this composition, your quest into the river for it really deserved the effort.
I must talk in this case about your "wet POV" :-)
I like the different depths seen on the river, the "texture" added by the stones and the beautiful amber tones got on the water.
It seems it was almost no trace of wind, because the long s. speed produced a very sharp image plenty of good details on the foliage.
The dark frame really stands out the better of the scene.
My compliments and best regards,
JM

Hi Niek,
Unusual but so beautiful picture.
Colours are natural. Sharpness and great details. I like stones in the river. They are very clean.
Very nice composition,
TFS

It's nice to see your posting again!
This is my sort of favorite scenery in landscape photo!
you captured so well in a great pov, the shade of lights play such a beautiful part in this composition and it brings so much mood of serene and peace in it!
the different coloration in the water and rocks look absolutely superb with texture!
great photo indeed and thanks for sharing, Niek
best wishes and take care!

Hello Niek,
Fine point of view to capture the small stream!
Good details in the vegetation and I notice the colours of the water and rocks...
I'm impressed when I see you used the tripod in a situation like this!

Hi Niek,
Nice range of well saturated colours here, with an interesting variety of texture in the water. The strip of shallow stones has given you a very good lead in, which is well placed along the right hand third of the frame. Good job on the exposure too, just the right amount. Did you try it in portrait at all? Take it your 'Laarsen' came in handy here... ;o)
Cheers,
Paul

I like all the details throughout this shot, Niek. The rocks on the bottom shine through, and the leaves in the bg are really detailed. I think the ND did a great job of balancing the top and bottom. I often leave my polarizer on in this situation to reduce the reflection in the water. The blur from the long exposure on the right is interesting. I'm not sure it's necessary, but it does add some intellectual interest.

Niek,
This is a really beautiful image. I like the mixture of sharpness and blur in the water. The areas that show the rocks in perfect detail contrast so nicely with the flowing water. The water color reminds me a lot of the boreal forest streams of Alaska, filled with dark tanins. If you return to the spot, you might consider panning the camera down just a touch more. If find the tangle of branches and foliage in the background a touch distracting from what I see as the real subject: the rocks and water.

Hello Niek.
Wow! This is right up my alley! A subject I can really relate to! Very beautiful. Great low POV and awesome colour and sharpness. I like the split line of reflected sky light and the shaddow allowing us to see the river bed. Very well done.
Best regards, Steve.

Bonjour Niek

Il y a trop peu de paysage, à mon goût, sur ce site. Je profite de cette magnifique vue pour le souligner. Il est vrai que ce n'est pas chose facile de faire ressortir les couleurs et la luminosité du tableau que l'on a sous les yeux !
Cette photo me donne envie d'aller me promener en ces lieux.

Bravo et merci

Liliane
