Yes.
Here's the original so you can check properties.
Some like a bit slower. I think this one is at 1/4 s.

Whatever paddle you want to use to navigate your canoe down the photography creek.
Personally, I prefer the rough water effect better than the milky effect.

I may not have searched the right sites for this answer, but I will ask it here. What are the reasons for shooting moving water with long exposures to get a white silky look? What is the problem with the water looking like water?
Control the mood of the image by the exposure.
Slow shutter speeds produce calming effects
Fast shutter speeds demonstrate the power and majesty

Yeah, but I prefer the "natural" look. What should my camera settings be then? :-)

Thank you! Finally, someone is thinking objectively... or at least just thinking. :-)

creativity perhaps?
Some images beg for fast shutter speeds, some look better slow.
Simply personal preference.
People ARE NATURE

It turns a photo int an "Artist's Conception" and as one who live around the clear mountain streams this "Art" drives me "NUTS" It is a total distortion of nature in a nature photo.Yes - during run off we have "dirty water" and white water rapids and also in some areas we have murky blue/green water - but never ever flowing milk as depicted so many times.
I wonder why the photographer takes so much time, effort and skill into getting everything in perfect focus "EXCEPT" the stream.
Grant you a little motion is OK some times like prop blur on airplanes. You don't see them in full blurred motion.

Natural as in moving water or water frozen in time?
I would recommend trying a few shots from 1/250 and reduce your shutter to 1/30 and see what you like best
In the end it is personal preference

Well, it also isn't still.
I attended a presentation where a guy suggested 1/13 sec is kind of a nice mix if you like reality. It isn't still and it isn't pillowy.
