    Thank you all for the comments; I was standing, uncomfortably, on one of those snowy rock ledges to get the shot.

    What's really great about this is that at first you think it's black and white, and then you notice the subtle greens of the pine needles and the jewel tones in the water. Great job.

    Beautifully captured! It is so serene, yet still powerful as it displays the forces of nature. Superb shot!

    Thank you all for the comments; It doesn't look like it now but in the summer this is a popular swimming hole. There was a rope swing right behind the camera. It is one of a series of cascades and pools that form a mile long natural water park.

    regards,

    Oh My Gosh! This is gorgeous! I love the deep green of the trees mixed with the white of the snow and ice and all the icicles everywhere! Great job.

    No, not a filter but it is an incremental time exposure. It is an average of 8 shots taken at 1/13 sec each in high speed burst mode to simulate a time exposure. I didn't have a tripod and wanted to get some flow to the water. I did have a monopod and the lens has vibration reduction so I could shoot a fairly low shutter speed but not enough to make the water really flow.

    I used TuFuse Pro to do the stacking. It does exposure blending or focus blending but it doesn't do alignment. I did the alignment in PTAssembler which is a panorama program that does full control point alignment. TuFuse Pro accepts tif files with alignment masks. In TuFuse Pro I use the exposure blend mode even though the exposures are all the same. All it does is average them. The process also reduces noise in high ISO situations but that wasn't a factor here.
