1/6 sec vs. 154 sec.

The 1/6 sec image turned out much better than I thought it would.

And the weird one... 154 sec.

Water sometimes looks better with a shorter exposure, IMO.

Have you tried to blend the two images into one to see if there may be a winner somewhere in-between? Sometimes, the blending brings up an even better image!

I like the second one. If you're interested, go back and photograph the stream again and again. It's interesting how the same or a similar scene changes under different lighting conditions.

They are so entirely different one cannot say one is better than the other. The faster exposure is way more dramatic. The water was fast, so that 1/6s basically "adds" enough softness for me.

The second one is meditative.

Holy shit, did nobody really spot Jaws? Did they mistake him for the elephant in the stream?

That's another of the problems of "critique": the expert only sees what he's conditioned to see. Like in the song, pretty much:

"A man sees what he wants to see and disregards the rest." ....  Paul S. I think.

Edit: yes, Jaws, first pic top right.

Good idea. Thanks!
