    Beautiful capture.. Love the motion of the water.

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Thanks Mikrin! There’ so much water in motion over there that it’s hard to decide where to look and what to shoot. ;)

    Beautiful shot Peter.Nice long exposure and I like the way the grass contrasts with the water….very nice!

    Very well done – it almost looks like you’ve captured wind, rather than water!

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    This is an interesting point of view on this image. Looking at it again I can see exactly what you mean. Thank you for this inspiring comment.

    Beautifully done Peter. The slow shutter gives the water a beautiful vapourous quality. Love the title too – it’s amazing what a tough existance this plant has chosen!!

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    You speak true (about the plant), I guess they have little to choose, unlike us. This puts our own luckiness in perspective I guess. ;)
    Thanks Karen!

    What a great part of the scene to concentrate your shot on…beautiful.

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    That touch of sunlight gives a great effect – well done!

  • Peter Zentjens replied

    Thanks Larry. The sky was completely overcast when we were at the Devil’s throat. Such a pity. But be waited and waited. It still was magnificent view so we just lingered there. At long last we were rewarded with the sun breaking through. It made my and my wives day I can assure you.

    This is magnificent Peter – the shaft of light and that tenacious clump of grass make a superb addition to the rushing water.

    Very surreal and real at the same time. It makes me feel like I’m there, watching the water run.

    The long exposure waterfall shot might be classic, but theres a reason for that….

    This is truly wonderful and appropriately titled. Well done on spotting, and seeing the potential.

    Meant to add that the light catching that clump of grass really enhances what would otherwise, still be a fine pic without it.

    Wow amazing. Love the way you single out something as simple as a tuff of grass and turn it into a work of art.
