Great shot. Very vast and good depth. The only thing that I would do is try and clean up the little sticks and black spots in the water in the lower part of the photo, they make it look "dirty" and are a tad distracting. A quick easy fix that would make this photo a 3TU easy. Thanks for sharing it, Rusty "Sidewinder" Sessions

very good picture, nice composition and colors. Is it not a problem for the Nikon to measure with two filters on the lens? I like the movement very much. greetz nioc.

Gorgeous. Really awesome use of filters and longer exposure. Maybe try to get rid of that little stick in the foreground. Everything is so smooth it's a bit distracting. But that's being pretty picky on a really awesome photograph!

Hi Brian Beautiful landscape picture. I like the pinkish colors, otherwise it would have been too blue.
