Description
Went on a walk in the woods to try out my new tripod. It really helps when capturing the flow of water while still getting a sharp image. I haven't quite decided if I'm satisfied with the composition... I like the lush green I get from the surrounding plants, but a heavier crop would have brought more focus on the flowing water. Anyone out there feel like sharing their thoughts on the matter?Related content

I'd agree that a tighter crop would bring the water more into the focus. The blur on the water looks good but not sure how I feel about the rest of the surroundings. It's nice and crisp though well taken photo.

Yeah, that's what I was considering. When I tried experimenting with it I noticed I lost composition and I lost a lot of the colour in the photo. I think I'll try a couple of other angles the next time I'm there. Thanks for the crit

That's beautiful! Great shot, I've never been able to capture the "moving water" effect so well
I think the composition is very nice, the green adds "life"

Yes indeed. I tried taking photos with a tripod, but well, I guess it was too light and the photos were over exposed
And wow, polarizing filter! I was actually just thinking about buying one
Now that you said it was great, I can't wait to go to the store

Yeah, you really have to work with the exposure back and forth to get it to work. 
Another way the polarizing filter helps is that it also darkens the image, so you automatically get longer shutter times. I'd recommend looking up a tutorial on polarizing filters, or even a photography book, since they work quite differently from regular filters. 
Oh, and try to get one with grips on both the inner and outer ring. My inner ring is totally smooth, so it's difficult to unscrew it when I want to go back to my UV filter.
