Nice final image, Steve. :) I like the bridge, and I think the composition worked very well.

Hey! Great picture of where I used to live! 10 years ago I lived in East Lyme and my backyard was Latimer Brook. My brothers and I would play in it all the time. Keep up the good work!

I think the long exposure hurts this shot a little.

I would have preferred it without the bridge. The rocks and the rushing water speak volumes.

I love the lichen on the rock, the composition and the whole forest scene. I am not that fond of the water. Perhaps you overprocessed it too much, at least for my tastes. Too much red maybe?

Almost too muchg contrast for this type of scene, but still very nice.

Fits the challenge very well. Stream is not very "milky" though. Maybe you could have came there at a different time when there is more "action" at the stream. Love the location and possibilities at this location though.
