Thank you, folks, for checking it out, and your comments!Chris Budny April 01, 2007
Thank you, Christine! The colors needed a little push to pop, but I loved the silky feel of the water's surface, at 1/30th second! I got another, aimed directly under the bridge (no sunset color at all, as a result) that is really cool (I think) as a B/W image... #4120211Shawn Jennings April 03, 2007

Thank you, Angela! I used this to create my "Fusion" finalist as well. I just love the undulating curves on the water's surface. #4611070Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
