dss #65 - Freeze or Flow - c&c

torrbrae

Thought would take photo "freezing" the water spurting out of Braemar Spring, and got this interesting bubble. Not sure if the larger or more cropped image is better:
1. Larger image


2. Cropped image




Your comments would be appreciated.

Thank you for advising the pictures are not visible - not sure what I did as they appear on my computer, whether I am logged on or not, but tried at work and see that there is no images?!?

Not having much success - so adding as attachment, on two separate threads.
Below is attachment of the full image.

And this second message has the attachment of the cropped image:

While I certainly like the frozen aspect of this image and believe that the composition of the cropped image has some potential, I just can't get over the light in these. The light is very harsh and it looks like it was taken more at mid-day -- probably to get the shutter speeds that produce this type of frozen motion. If you can retake at a time of day when the light is not so harsh (read sunrise/sunset and the time just before and after -- there are other times too), I think you'd have a better capture of the light.

I like the wider perspective better (unusual for me). It puts it in context and the edges of the bubble look a little fuzzy closer in.

Thank you for the comment - yes, the photo was taken early afternoon, in full sun. Had wanted to get the sun to sparkle on the water, but can now see is overdone. Will try taking early morning, when sun will be on the water. Evening will be in shadow, and don't think the shutter speed on my camera would cope.
