This is from a caving trip we took in New Zealand. Handheld so I couldn't easily use a tripod to bracket the exposure.

I appreciate the feedback, especially if the highlights are too extreme. Thank you!

Other than a blown pebble or two, I'd say you pretty much nailed it. Nice shot.


Not sure why, but call me JJ.

I love the shaft of light coming though and hitting the water. Nice job

Most excellent. CPL possibly to help the highlights maybe, but this is real cool.

Excellent! Are those two streaks dripping water? That's a cool addition!

Thanks for the additional nice comments, everyone. This was taken outside Waitomo, New Zealand.
