So as I sit and finalise the new landscape website I thought I would share an image with you I found in the archives.
This was taken back in 2013 while on a hike with Adrian Arran down Padley Gorge. I was trying my hardest for around an hour to get a decent composition that incorporated the Autumnal colours and the movement of the water. I finally found this stunning little set of falls at the bottom, I remember shooting this and thinking "I can't wait to get that edited".
Three Years later here it is. (Better late then never right?)

Not so sure. The water has become a static mass of blurry white shapes almost like a vapor (an not at all like water) and not as you described as showing the "movement of the water". Sometimes it's worth considering what an image like this looks like without the overused effect of stopping down on water elements. This distracts from the color and shape in the upper half of the frame - becoming in effect like two separate images.

A stunning image that I can't fault.

I like it. While for some the water may be too "foamy" or "dragged", to me it is still ok, as the movement is still quite clear.

My thoughts exactly.

+1 - long exposures create their own artistic effects.

Beautiful in every regard. The jury may be out on how best to portray water, but it comes down to personal preference. I just wish I could see a little more of the background waterfall - not much, but even a sliver more would help create even more movement.
A wonderful photograph for your website.
Right - what's with the title or have I missed something?

Hey everyone, cheers for all your comments.

- The Title is just the location, its in the Peak District.

- I'm afraid I'm not 100% sure I agree, I'm not saying your wrong as there is no right and wrong in this game but I purposely shot this on a longer shutter to draw eyes from the bottom of the frame up. However, that said I'm not usually a lover of images when you can't see the actual movement and it isn't something I would shoot a lot of.
