Different, a waterfall shot in moonlight with a starry sky, but I like it! I think only two things slightly bother me though, the shadows on the right are too dark with no detail, and unless the trees naturally lean in on both sides of the creek perhaps a bit of perspective adjustment is warranted?

Thanks David for your kind comments. You are correct about the lack of detail in the trees, I am still working on that. The tree angle is natural.

Did you set the camera for aperture priority and allow the camera to set the time?
Very nice image.

Nice capture. Bringing up the details as mentioned will produce a real fine photograph.
Great work.

Hi Bill... the image was taken in the Bulb mode with a cable release. I shot image after image in RAW varying the f stop, and using the histogram to calculate the exposure time.

Thanks John, I will work on the dark areas, so far I haven't been able to get suitable results that look natural.

Thank you for your explanation. Now that I have some time in my life I will shoot more and I like what you did here.

Pretty neat image for moonlight. Bring up the details in the shadows is an interesting thought until you consider the fact that the image was shot in the dark. That looks pretty nice for a moonlit shot to me.

Nice work.
