Good stuff, Bill. You handled the water perfectly.

You did. Long enough to be silky, short enough to retain some detail.

Well seen.
Me too.
I was happy with the original,but I like the lighter version even a bit more.

I would have thought the same but now that I see it I think I prefer the darker version, fits the mood better.

To my eyes, yes. Thanks.

Post by: Chairman Bill on October 21, 2020, 04:44:20 am: I prefer the darker version, not least because that's closer to how it was - at the bottom of a very steep river-cut valley with heavy tree cover. That said, preference is subjective and I can see the pros and cons of each. I might try something twixt the two and see how that looks.
