Do gooseberries actually grow in this area Leigh? It looks like a nice place to explore and I like the shallow water action and patterns on the fg sandy beach.

Great use of slow shutter speeds to give some sense of motion to the water. I think you would have probably gotten a very similar effect at 1.25s and f/11 and gotten sharper detail in the rocks. Or perhaps just a bit more sharpening.

Good shutter speed producing nice water motion.
Nice vibrant greens on left act as a contrast.
Good processing.

Thanks for the comments...I totally agree with you regarding aperture. I'm not a landscape photographer at all. I took one rule and ran with it - - stop down to get both foreground and BG in focus. For some of my shots I even used f/20, being proud of myself for being so smart. When I got home I remembered my physics and the laws of diffraction and realized f/8 to f/11 would have been fine for most landscape situations. PLUS I should have known this because I rarely go beyond f/11 with my macro - for the same reasons. D'oh.

Thanks so much, John. Still learning. I had thought landscape photography was going to be a piece of cake - I was wrong. It's a whole different bag. I think it's actually easier to shoot bugs and birds
