    I don’t think that might comment will be any different from the comments above, however, this is a wonderful image with excellent composition and lighting. Well captured scenery that makes the viewer stop and look at it for long time. Beautiful composition, details, depth of field, and a very creative use of long shutter speed.

  • Mel Brackstone

    Thanks everyone. Keith, this is hdr from three exposures, but blended back into the one with the splash. Dodging and burning comes in handy too.
