nice shot, milky water works in this image

thanks richard ,i know the milky shots are not everyones cup o tea, but i like them .

[Guest]

I think a lot of people dont like them because they get over used and quite a lot of the time the milky effect adds nothing to the image. on this image the milky effect enhances the force of the waterfall

I don't like the milky effect but I like the scene otherwise.

Wouldn't mind looking at the fall in its natural state if you have a photo

ill have a look through my HD .

I wonder if a little less exposure time would help the clipped highlights and placing the water fall dead centre has not helped the composition by bringing the eye straight onto the clipped highlights ?

[annie]

milky shots are like marmite....you either love them or hate them.....each to his own i say..

i would also love to see a 'natural' version of this. it does look a beautiful place,

[fuzzyedges]

Ive never had milky marmite, drink or spread???

I like this shot but would have moved the waterfall from the center

As for slow shutter speed shots I am not a fan I always find less is better

Showing things have movement is fine but at some point they become static again and its finding that point thats the trick

[Leon]

love it!!...I am a milky fan :)

thanks for all your comments ,they do make a lot of sence and yes the waterfall would have been better to one side .

always learning ehh .

ive had a look through my HD and unfortunatly all the images are the same or simular .

Bowood is in wiltshire ,a truely beautiful place well worth a visit if your anywhere near it ,

As soon as you posted this I knew it was gonna be controversial

I'm on the lover side of the camp when it comes to silky water, it's the only way to convey true movement IMO.

What software do you use for your PP?

[Heather]

well i really love this image. im not always a fan of milky water, depends how its used, but in this case it works beautifully
