At least to my taste. Hi Boris: For this shot, or for that matter, any of my images, I don't do what's customary. I do what I think will make beautiful images. It's a personal thing. I just happen to believe that this image requires, for my taste, a very long shutter speed to get the velvet look to the water. I recall the shutter speed being on the order of 60 seconds or so to take in account the reciprocity of the film. Maybe for your taste the water would look better "frozen". Try it and see for youself. It's easy to do. I could have "frozen" the water and still got the depth of field I needed by using extreme tilt on the front lens board and f5.6 and a fast shutter speed. My thoughts. Others can chime in. Larry from Prescott
