It's not quite what I had in mind: I don't think this subject can be made to show what you see - heck, I've taken enough shots very similar to this that have failed. When I look you see the ripples and the play of lights on rock. I've come to the conclusion that it is the real movement of the highlights that is what makes the scene itself pleasant to view. A fast exposure - it's static, A slow exposure - it's a blur. It might work (create a nice picture) but it would not be what I saw. Bob
