I like the composition and the shutter speed, and even the contrast under the trees. What I don't like is the foreground whitecaps being out of focus. I'd try it with the foreground in focus, and another with the whole scene in sharp focus-- or maybe it's a problem of camera steadiness. Other than that, it's a great shot!

I would try a longer and shorter exposure. Seems like your just in between. Might be more effective either way. As long as your there, might as well take a couple.

The colors are nice. I like the wavy horizontal bands. The water looks wet and moving rather than like ice. I'd say you did a pretty nice job.

It's a nice enough picture anyway, but maybe a wider lens would give context, and either a faster shutter speed to freeze the water or a much slower one would give the 'creamy' effect.

You're fortunate to have such a nice subject nearby!

As long as this accurately reflects the color of the water, I'd keep it. I think a slower shutter would unnecessarily blur the water (too many people already do that) -- unless, of course, that's what you want. Contrast may already be too high, based on the blown out white-caps in upper left. My $0.02 worth.

I'm afraid I cannot offer advice but I do like the varied shades of green, played out by the light, with the contrasting whites. I also like how the water is tranquil, in a spot or two, and threatening, rushing water elsewhere!

I'd shoot with a slower shutter speed as long as the tree remains still. Looks like it would have to be late evening or a dull day though, looking at the catch lights on the river.
