Not alot to say, other than I quite like this one!
Constructive criticism (or just downright criticism!) is welcome and appreciated for all my shots!
Due to the fact that I'll be working on site in Scotland for the forseeable future, I probably won't be able to respond to comments straight away, but will try my best, and will definitely get back to you eventually!
As always, feedback and constructive criticism will be greatly appreciated!

The water effect adds wonderful swift flowing action to the shot. I agree. This is a very pleasing shot.

I think I would have levelled the horizon. And since the stream is the interesting part of this photo, would have been nice to see more of it ... the trees in the top 10% of the image don't add much to the scene. But a nice shot nonetheless. I like it.

@Aaron Schmidt: Thanks for the feedback Aaron
I do agree a litle bit with Aaron. Maybe there is a little bit too much trees nevertheless without trees the shot would have no intrest a all. I like the effect on the wave you choosed. With a longer exposure you would have had an other effect (not better) The impression on this one in very good : "wild horses" indeed

@MaryB: Thanks Mary
Excellent job with the water, the framing, and the b/w conversion (which I think makes this image even better). I would like to see more of the stream, tho'. You have some excellent dappled shadows to the mid left on the water that are quite wonderful.

@e.: Thanks E!
A great shot, and the bw does it well. Dont agree with cropping the trees, you would lose the impact. Good title.

@Brites: Thanks Brites
Good caption and very clever use of the shutter. Am I right in thinking to get the blurred effect on the water you use a very slow shutter speed and best to use the cameras timer or a remote? Was any filters used? I know of lots of areas likes this so I hope mine come as as well. As with all photography practice makes perfect.

@Jon: It is best to use the camera on a remote or timer, along with a tripod. I bought a wireless remote for about 10 pounds off amazon that does the job. I didn't use a filter for this one because it was such a dark day, but I use ND grads and polarisers in other shots to produce the same effect
