Thank you!

I think I like it with the rock in the lower left, but they both have their own beauty.

Thank you!

Thank you. I'll play a little more.

Thank you, thank you. I have never heard of "the hyperfocal distance," but will be studying it now. I have had a lot of problems understanding how to set and change my focus points since I bought this camera. I have read everything the manual has to offer and a few blogs, but still have difficulties. These were shot with the camera set to "51 point dynamic-area AF." I'll work I these two items together and see what I come up with. Thank you again.

Thank you!

Thank you!

You have to loved that response.

Thoughts? And thank you!

Thank you so much for your input and guidance. #1 was very similar to many other I captured and liked. With #2 the "fuzz" leaves just right of center may have been moving and were very close to the lens. Yes, they were all taken with a tripod and remote shutter. I did some as slow and 4 seconds so that was a must.

Thank you. It is one of my favorites as well. #2 was a bigger challenge with depth. The fuzzy leaves slightly left of center were very close to the lens.

Thank you very much!

This is the first time i attempted to photograph flowing water with a slow shutter speed. In addition, one thing that often challenges me it getting the depth of field I am after, especially if I'm trying to get as much as possible. Of course if I am only concerned with the main subject being crisp, I can do ok. In these photos I was hoping to get as much depth as possible.

Great shot. The way the light hits the scene is incredible.

The second!

Wow! This is great stuff.
