        i like it monica, but the strong straight lines in the top left hand corner really create a rigid structure in the image (makes me notice all the straight lines and angles) that im not sure of (not sure if im making sense either) mabe cropping closer or panoramic.

        But i do Love the longer exposure and the water movement you captured is awesome.

      Luv the sheer veils of water & the echo of that vertical fall by the lacework of bare twigs to the right.
      Nice detail in the mosses. . .
