Water by PatrickSmith
When I saw this scene on the island of Kauai, I was struck by how I could see the entire water cycle happening right before my eyes. The water was evaporating, lifting into the clouds, raining back to earth, flowing down the seven waterfalls, and draining into this taro field and the surrounding area. There was no wind.
Hundreds of small fish were swimming around, making the reflections soft while the leaves were stationary for the entire two seconds of the exposure. So they were perfectly sharp even though they flutter in the slightest breeze.
I came back here 7 days in a row looking for calm conditions. But it was so nice being here that I literally almost forgot to take the shot!
Details: 2 second exposure @F22 with ND grad 0.9

This does indeed look like a beautiful place to be, the sharpness of the leaves in the fg really is good considering the 2sec exposure, but it's the refelction and vivid colour that really drew me into the shot
Very classy!

This was one of the ones that stood out on your website Patrick. The leaves (especially the isolated bunch) really do add that important foreground element to help balance the scene.

Thanks for your comments. EPZ appears to be very slow this morning. It took an entire minute just to see this page. I'm not sure how anybody has even managed to comment!
True Ade, I had to get something nice in front. The full-sized print at 36x24 looks great.
I like the greens too Gill. It is green everywhere on this side of the island.
You have to go Mike!
Thanks Dave and Nik, I walked around for a while trying to isolate a nice bunch of taro in front. It was too chaotic elsewhere, as this was not taro season.

Even before I read your description, I was thinking the same thing... how the water seemed to come from those mountain rivers (amazing how clear they are) towards the pool in the fg.
So I guess you managed to put your experience at the place itself into a photo and transfered that experience to us. and that's quite an accomplishment

I sure do Greg. It is still hard to get good light though. The last time it rained was when you were here. It rains there on 3 times as many days as here but that can lead to nice landscapes, so get ready.
Dennis, the problem with the one I linked to above is that there is no foreground. And the cliffs are too crumbly to hike to a better place. You need to reserve an entire day if you want a really good shot. Still, I do like the colours and everything.
Hi Tony, I went back to your last comment on th elast shot in order to to go over to your page to do a better critique. And then here is your comment! Thanks.

Thanks Malcolm.
Dennis,
I do have a few more but I haven't processed them yet. But they are about like the one I linked to above. It would take several dedicated days to really get a good shot. The one good thing is that clouds hang around at the summit a lot. But this is the dry side of the island. So there is a 2 hour drive from where I stay on the north side and this is the only destination. There is the end of the road beach (called barking sands or something) that would be good for photos, but I haven't made it there yet.
