I'm relatively new here (though I'm old everywhere else), so I thought I'd introduce myself with a photo and see what you think of it (I hope I got the attachment process right).
This is Factory Falls, in the Delaware Water Gap Recreation Area of Pennsylvania. The woman in the photo was unaware she was in the scene and moved a little during this long exposure.

Welcome to the forum.
That is a very pleasing shot with nice light.

Welcome Jim. Unfortunately the girl moved her head during your half-second exposure. Outside of that, it's lovely. The kind of thing that belongs on a bank wall.

Thanks. The actual exposure was about 10 seconds, as this was with Live Composite, on my E-M1. The Exif only shows the base exposure of 1/2 second.
I struggled with this in post, as the upper falls were in deep shadow and the lower falls were in full sun. I pondered cropping out the woman, because of the head movement, but I think she adds more than detracts.

I'd agree, Jim, but it looks like something out of the late eighteen hundreds, except for the color. Good shooting, but get the gal to hold still next time. Any normal male's eyes are going to jump right to her image and the moving head jars the experience.
