The following set is of the Wahkeena waterfall in Oregon. The waterfall is located about 15-20 miles East of Portland. The first picture in this post is for reference . It was taken at 27 mm.
The following four were taken with the 80-200 and picking the area around the rock in the foreground. I realize the first two are somewhat similiar but differ in the blur of the water. I figured I post them both to see if there is preference for one or the other. Any comments/critiques will be appreciated.
Wahkeena 1 1/3 second f10 @ 80mm
Wahkeena 2 2 seconds f22 @ 80mm
Wahkeena 3 1/3 second f10 @ 112mm
Wahkeena 4 1/10 second f8 @ 80mm
I really like No.2 with the two second exposure. The motion of the water at two seconds has a nice look and at F-22 the dof is great. Nice composition in 2 also.

I think they are all good, but there is something about #4 that I like the best-don't ask why cuz I don't know-it just grabbed me more than the others.

They are all good, but the 2sec. is the one I like... My son spent a weekend in Yosemite a few years ago trying for that very thing...some turned out good.

I don't know...2 or 4, 2 or 4...like the water in 4 and the color/comp in 2. The water in 2 is a bit...what...cottony for me.

It was actually pretty easy to pick your keepers here Paul. Comparing the first two I just patrolled the perimeters of the image to look for distractions from the image, #2 was the clear winner. The last two pretty easy two, focal point on the rock in the bottom right was not the best subject in #3. Last one you nailed, clean shot with the water leading your eyes through!

The clarity and saturation on these are excellent. I know many voices insist on long water exposure to produce the white, milky look, but I actually like faster speeds and more natural looking water. LOVE the last one, my favorite of the set.

I like the comp int #4 the best, it has the 'I'm right in the middle of the picture' feeling.

I like 2 & 4, love the colors, the smoothness of the water and the comps. Thanks for the comparisons. :o)
