Great shots Neil, and definitely worth it. Even the guy that wandered into scene in #1 was fortuitous as he definitely added a nice extra to the composition.

I loved #1 and #2 being a fan of low angles.
I also like to leave rubbish skies out (you can't polish a turd!)

Your shots have an oil-painting like mood to them.
Good work!

Number 2 is superb. It does have that classic oil painting mood.

Yes, I guess it was worth getting wet! They are all great but #2 does it for me!

VERY worth it Neil, such rich deep colors, great motion. I love the 2nd shot, and the person makes the 1st shot for me. Well done.

#2 all the way, Neil. The mist and the luminosity in the white water streaks gives it a mystical feel.

Are you sure that's a fisherman? In the first shot, it looks like he's relieving himself. :lol:

Cheers guys. The second shot was a 5 second exposure at a usual f16 with CPL. The others were around 2 seconds as I didn't want to up the ISO too much just to catch the fly fisher. I doubt he will be there next week as he caught nothing :)

Again the second one I like very much, but #3 really does it. Lovely work Neil.

The fisherman in the first/third is a good catch (full pun intended ;) ) but, to me, the water in the second is fantastic and, overall, it's a much better shot. I love the slight mist in the background in that one. The third is well done also but I'll stick with the second as my favorite.
Good job Neil. :grin:

Thanks all. The mist was very short lived and I was hoping to catch it further upstream but hey ho I am used unpredictability, being myself a fisherman! :)
