Description: For me the real beauty of rapids can only be captured in an instant of time and really only with a photograph. Combined with reflections even better . I know these are a bit unorthodox for our site but wanted to post for opinions and see if the image resonates. I could leave the bottom 1/6 out and it would not be so obvious what this was but elected
Is there too much going on in this image or many interesting areas?
Pertinent technical details or techniques: 200 mm f/22 1 sec iso 400
Is this a composite? (focus stacks or exposure blends are not considered composites) no

Nothing wrong with posting âunorthodoxâ stuff here, in fact I would encourage you to show more of this type of image, it makes for an interesting abstract. I do like that you left the bottom, It injects a hint of reality into an otherwise abstract image, and that contrast of real/abstract adds some interest.
My only nitpick is that I wish there was slightly more space at the bottom, to show a bit more of that curling flow in the center. Here is a crude attempt at a rework, using PS Add Canvas and Content Aware Fill (which did an amazing job I thought).
Very appealing photo. I like the diversity of lines and textures, from the sweeping curves to the cottony wave crests. The green and gold color palette is nice. I think youâve done a good job of composing a very chaotic scene. I just wish that there was more of the beautiful sweeping line along the bottom.
Thank you @Giuseppe_Guadagno@Chris_Baird@Ed_McGuirk for your time and comments/suggestions/rework. Ed , I actually had cropped this image so I had the bottom to p[lay with and added just as you did from original.
Mario I too think that this is a perfect real to abstract image with nothind to remove and something to add as you did beautifully . II too love this kind of imeges.
