The exposure on the water is lovely.
I'm guessing you could not get closer to the waterfall? That big rock on the right getts in the way of the composition somewhat, but the actual water itself is beautifully recorded

Slow water is one of those marmite things, but you have done a good job, I think. I agree about the vertical format for this one. You will know what vantage points were available to you, and I know you have to be very careful with safety at Aberdulais, but a higher viewpoint that got a bit of the pool at the base of the fall, and avoided the intrusive plant and dark rock you have at the base would have been better. Have you got a remote for you camera? This can reduce shake and also can help if you have to set the camera up in a tight space.

Hi Duncan,

It look's like you've found a good place for this type of shot and if your local it should offer you plenty of opportunity to practice with different shutter speeds. You have recieved some good advice from Frank and ND filters are a big help with this type of image. Sue is correct when she say's some people like the milky effect and some people don't, but as we all agree it's what you like that matters. I also agree that this may work better if taken in a portrait mode to gain more height and less rocks, to the right in this case. I don't know what's below and what happens to the water after it's passed between the two rock's at the base of the image but if there was some intrest and you could have shot from lower down you may have been able to capture more moving water in the frame.
Duncan, with that in mind I have posted a mod where although it's not a true portrait size it should give you an idea, I have had to use a touch of artistic licence when filling in the extra canvas.

Take care

Martin
