Oh wow slow shutter speed, equals brillance. Gorgoues capture of the movement of the water, great ambience, you feel like step into the photo and that log up front gives the photo extra character and a rustic nature appeal if that makes sense. Keep up the Brillance:=}

Thank you very much Bellavista….Your kind comments are appreciated!
