Great contest!

You have achieved an impressive artistic result. You have used the long exposure to make the water in the photo soft and smooth. Great processing of the frame. Using the human figure for scale further enhances the artistic value of your photo. Thanks for participating

Even though we've seen thousands of shots of this type and in this position, I can say that you did a brilliant job. The vignetting itself looks somehow natural, as if it were formed by the clouds and the dark part of the water. Great job, thanks for participating.

An extremely good shot. The way the shot was positioned and the calm waters contributed to everything happening in the most appropriate way. I could stand and look at this picture for a very long time. Congratulations on your first place and thank you for taking part in the competition.

Congratulations, you have managed to present the water in the most correct way, which has made it almost turn into a smooth surface. The motion blur manages to show the boat even more clearly and draw our attention to it. Thank you for participating in the competition.

I am looking for your black and white photos of water captured with a long exposure.. Long exposure water photography is a fantastic way to create stunning images by capturing motion of the water over time, often creating dreamy images of the water. Please only enter photos in black and white. Whether you are looking to explore new techniques or take breathtaking shots of landscapes with water, I look forward to seeing your photos.

Very well constructed shot, great work with the light. I like how the stones on the shore sparkle from the light coming from the right and the white veil of water covers them like steam. Thank you for participating in the contest!
