The two things i dislike most in photography are silky water and black and white. Do you think Ansel Adams would be using black and white if he were around today?
Yes.

I'll have to learn how to upload my images at something larger than 600x375. You can't really see what I'm talking about in the pictures above.
Yes we can. You make a good argument for cascading water and falls. I that/this case, the MLK makes the photo. It is drab without it. I don't think any one has said they were stuck on a fast shutter. Only that they like , in cases as was presented, a mostly flat river, to see what the eye sees. But there are times it does not work and you show that well.

Ansel Adams shot color images as early as the 30's, I believe he shot over 4000 images..........they just didn't get published..........

Ansel Adams photographed this tree in B&W. I did the same in color. The strange thing about this is that I did not know of his photo at the time. This is a copy of the slide from 1964.

Anyone who has sold a photo is a professional. That does not mean that he or she is worth a damn. I have never sold a photo; preferring to to give my work to anyone who enjoys it.
I guess that you just like to "toot" your own horn. BTW, when I mentioned pro photographers, I was talking about "known" pros who teach post processing.Apr 6, 2020 09:50:27 #

It seems to me that the most striking photographs are those that show something in a new way, or in a way that our eyes cannot see. That said, anything can be overdone but, in general, if water is moving,
I like to sense that movement. A waterfall with sharply delineated rock walls but slightly silky water is becoming a photographic cliche but i still prefer it to sharply stopped mid air water.

My opinion, it depends on the water, picture, and as a photographer, what do you want to capture. Both have there place and are nice.

As for pros teaching post processing: That seems to be, on the surface, a promotion of negativity. In closing, your signature should give credit to Yogi Berra.

This is a guess, but you aren't a native Texan.
