It's nice to see the two images side-by-side, Dave. They show just how far your skills have progressed. This version is not only "cleaner," the tones are dramatically improved. Well done!

Beautiful composition. Nice color saturation and you really nailed the silkiness of the water! I know you said this version was reworked but what settings did you have on your camera for the original? Gorgeous Image! Missy #6309912

Thank you Melissa! I am really glad you like this. THe exposure for this image was 1 sec at F16. I probably took around 10 shots of this at different settings. THis one was the one I liked best.
