There are simply too many legends and superstitions to list here, but one is that drinking from a stream could give immortality.

I'll have to take your word for it. I've never been there. Beautiful B & W but I really would have prefered a color photo here. It would have taken it from an 8 to a 10 in my eyes. Sorry.

I like how the long exposure blurred the water. Mt. Fuji almost disappears in the background. -stephan

VERY CLASSY black and white always is though :) I like it a bunch, what filters were used?

the mountain seems too faded, try a polarizer filter

I would like to see this one in color..

Yeah, it's a legend. Why the Black and White? I'd really like to see this scene in colour. 6 jacko.

Just wondering where you took this from? Its a lovely picture, but a real shame that Fuji is hiding, hence the title "Immortal". I live in Japan and went to Fuji last weekend, took some shots, now is the perfect time as Fuji is half covered in snow, shame we couldnt see that in your picture. I climbed Fuji this summer, something I wouldnt reccommend to anyone-very hard work!! Good Luck in the challenge. Natasha

I do not understand why you wanted this picture in black and white.

nice shot

Why no colour? andrewm

nice shot, not sure if the cloud in front of the mtn. adds or detracts.
is a bit tilted.
nice tones and contrast in foreground, too bad that couldn't be matched in the mtn. part of the shot. Gradient filter would have helped.

WOW............nice job.

Very nice photo, but what's the superstition/urban legend? Arrgh...this challenge is hard to vote for! 7/10, simply because I don't know the superstition. Sorry! Will raise my vote if you let me know what it is. erin_m02

Good shot. Nice composition.

I am not sure where the superstition or urban legend is incorporated, but the phot is beautiful. I am a fan of color photographs, would have liked to seen this one in color, however the black and white brings out nice detail in the water and rocks. -7-

Could be any mountain. Doesn't depict Fuji auspicious shape.

nice photo, but is this a "well known" superstition?
