Some have posted that they have seen so many photos of blurred waterfalls that it has become a gimmick. Can the same thing be said about photos taken with fast shutter speeds that show no movement? When I look at a waterfall, I am attracted by movement of the water. For me, a photo taken with a slow shutter speed therefore better portrays what i see with my eyes. I take photos of waterfalls both ways, but I usually like the ones taken with slow shutter speeds better-they seem to better give me a sense of what I saw and felt when I watched the waterfall. And those I show my photos to seem to like better the slower shutter speed Photos as well. But it's all a matter of personal taste. I say potatoe, you say potato...

All of them are excellent, but I especially like the composition and colors in the first one.

Those folks planning on visiting Arches N.P. should check the parks website. They are doing extensive road construction this year and there will be travel delays in the park. The park will be closed at times from 7 pm to 7 am which can ruin some photo opportunities. Here is a link to their website https://www.nps.gov/arch/planyourvisit/construction.htm
I urge anyone going to Arches to get your butt out of bed before sunrise so you are where you want to photograph when the sun comes up. Sunrise (and sunset) is always a great time to photograph, but it's especially true in Arches. Road closures between 7 pm and 7 am will not be helpful, so please check the road closure schedule. I also see from the NPS website that the Devil's Garden Campground is closed this summer. That is unfortunate, because there is a lot of great photography in that area, and it's a beautiful campground.

Little too much HDR. HDR should be applied like a woman's make up; you don't even know it's there.
The shots are great belong on your wall.

Thanks for your comment. I just got Elements 15 and am playing with the haze removal tool. It's a nice tool, but it's easy to get a little carried away, I think.

I agree-really like number 1.

If you are new to the magic wand, you will find that it often grabs a much larger space than you want. To reduce it to just the area you want, hold down the alt key and, while continuing to hold it down, move the cursor through the area you don't want to grab. (sorry for the double post)
