Support. Nice shot. Shows the interesting environment particularly well. Does appear to be slightly motion blurred though, but could be my imagination. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:03, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Checked the EXIF: it was 1/60 -- Benjamint 11:15, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well that's slow'ish, but the shutter speed alone means very little without the focal length, whether it was handheld or on tripod, and if handheld, how stable you were, whether optical stabilisation was used, etc. But it's sufficiently sharp I think. Just not quite perfect. Ðiliff «» (Talk) 11:21, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Good point, It was 35mm and handheld with IS. Was too long ago to remember how stable I was. Benjamint 11:58, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support, wonderful. The little waterfall in the background really adds to it. J Milburn (talk) 11:39, 11 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]
