My first attempt at silky water. This was taken on Lake Jocassee at Devil's Fork State Park in South Carolina. I'm pretty pleased how it turned out.

Nice long (time) exposure.

Nicely done. Looks like the water is coming out of the rocks and you have good movement in the picture.

I find the cycle interesting. When I first started in photography, a SLR with a focal plane shutter fast enough to effectively stop action was just getting into the price range affordable by the typical hobby photographer (unless you wanted to tote around a Speed Graphic). At that time, the objective would have been to stop the water in a photo like this one and be able to see details of individual droplets. Now, with dSLR cameras having available effective shutter speeds MUCH faster than film photographers are accustomed to, the trend seems to be to slow down and make water look silky. I am still trying to decide which I prefer and in what situation(s) I would use each approach. Except for not being sure how I feel about "silky water" (my issue, not yours) this is a very nice photo which conveys (to me) a comfortable and relaxed feeling. As an avid backpacker for the last 65 years, this is the sort of setting in which I feel most at home. Nicely done.

Enjoyed your post here Bart...especially since backpacking is getting harder now that I'm in my mid 70's! Always enjoyed the solitude of backpacking and the joy of wilderness photography.

With all due respect I am going to give you some tips to make it even better than it is.
1- Increase contrast to taste.
2- Correct colors (it has a slight cyan cast) which is easily done adding red and yellow in small amounts.
3- Crop the bright area at the bottom. I bet you will be much better pleased with the results.

Thank you for the CC. I'll try to do that and repost.
