Long exposure works well here, very good series.

Very true. For me, the first is by a country mile the best.

The first one is perfect. Exposure on all three is well chosen, not too long, not too short.
Well done!

+2: The first one for me too. The water looks metallic, and really compliments the rest of the scene. (Nit: Is it just an optical illusion, my eyes, or is the horizon on the first slightly tilted?)

[MattBurt]

Thanks! The first is my favorite too. When I saw how the eddy lines could mirror the cloud lines and the light was great, I got all excited.
That horizon is a little tilted but this whole scene slopes from left to right so it's hard to find exactly what is level. If I made that close horizon level, it's wouldn't actually be correct, although it might look better.

Nice series Matt! Best regards,

Wonderful light and water movement!  I've had to battle horizons that were correct when shot but didn't look like it in the final image.
