Description
Taken on a bright, sunny day at Minter Gardens in Bridal Falls, BC. Since the sun was so bright I used a polarising filter and a ND grad filter to darken the scene enough to capture the soft water look.Tripod and cable release used.
Fuji Superia 200
f 22
19-35mm lens
6 sec exposure
Then used photoshop to add the softness. Again, I could stick to the normal photograph, but I wanted to play. If you want to see what an original looks like check out [link] . It was taken moments before this shot.
Thanks for the honest critiques!

I love the soft feel in this one. I must say that I would crop it a bit differently myself... I would take in the whole fall (you have left out some of the lower one) and leave more out from left (does that make sense... 
The water looks great, though

Great picture. I think you were right to 'adjust' it in photoshop. It just takes out any harsh edges, and makes it much more um...dream-like? Fantastic. A definate favourite.

This is a great pic. I don't mind you playing with the image a bit when you get results like. The softness is almost touchable.

Thanks! Sometimes I tend to go overboard with softness, but this one did turn out well. (except for the extremely dark left side of the water!!)

You're welcome. And I almost commented on that dark left side, but I thought it kinda helped keep focus on the softness of the water, and since this was as much about the effect as it was about the photo, I didn't say anything.
