About the Image(s)
As you can see from the original, my intent in photographing this scene, for better or worse, was completely different than what I ended up with after post processing! The image was shot at ISO 320, f/16, 26mm focal length on 24-105 mm lens, 30 sec using ND 1000 filter. Processing was with Affinity Photo 2.0 cropped of course and masking a levels adjustment to bring out highlights added a little bluish tone, using a smoothing filer, and finally a horizontal flip so water runs left to right. I also tried this with B&W but I like this version better. I think the rock highlights may be a little too strong.
The scene was of an 150 year old stone bridge over the Paulins Kill river in northwest New Jersey close to the Delaware Water Gap.
