That is so freakin cool...I have been wanting to shoot something like this forever but still havent found any whirling. As for the comp I am really wanting the camera panned a bit more to the right to allow a bit more 'flow' from where the water is coming/going. That would put the streaks in the bottom left corner and allow for a little wider view to the right. Going to clue us in on 'mystical' yet? :-P

Yeah, I really like that right center area.
In hind sight, I wish I would have used my 70-200 in that area.

I'll gladly share "mystical" in person ...

Wow - neat visual. I have never encountered an eddy that works as well as this one does here.

Good eye.

Swirl-o-mania! Very cool. Most viewers will not realize what the heck they're seeing.

This is very nice. Kind of makes a person dizzy to look at it. Well seen.

Nicely done Matt. It looks like the lone red tree in this spot decided to bless you with some leaves in the pool.

Aaron, you would be amazed at how many eddies there are in streams and river just downstream of a fall. Sometimes you need to sit back and watch for a while before they make themselves apparent. This is one such location. The pools swirl ever so slowly, but become readily visible when carefully observed...I could tell you where this is...

Ben your so right.
You have to set a long exposure just to see 'em, then tweak from there ...
One lap on this bad boy must have taken at least ten minutes.

Ben, have you ever gone to Hemlock Draw, Pine Hollow, or Natural Bridge ?
Three I want to hit when the snow is deep ...

I've never needed a long exposure to see them here. But, then again, I spend hours in this place watching and studying it so when the time is right I can shoot it at a moments notice. I hear you had some pretty sound advice about this place.

Yes, yes and yes. I've not spent a lot of time in any of them, but you may also want to add Baxter's Hollow (spring is best) to your list of places to shoot in this area. I am up for a snowshoe adventure. Let me know in advance and I'll shoot with ya if I'm not up by the big lake.

Wow, what a find, well seen & captured.
I would like to see a bit more to the right as the lead-in to the swirl looks interesting too.
We are all jealous, thanks for posting

Rumor has it that there is another eddy spinning to the right of this scene.

I've actually got to other angles that really gets that right side, the compositions weren't as strong IMHO.
Here is a test shot of one of them, a High ISO quick take for setup before the "real deal".
