Close-up landscapes are a particular favourite of mine and so I'm happy to comment on this one, sent in by Gordon. The water is well-exposed and the chosen shutter speed certainly shows the movement in the water. The water creates an interesting pattern by flowing in various directions, but unfortunately this pattern is rather obscured by the large log. Because of its position the log dominates the picture, and I have to say that I don't find it very interesting. Things like this succeed either because of their texture, which we can't really see too well at this size, or because of their shape, and unfortunately this is not a very interesting shape. I like the stones and greenery at the top right, but it gets a bit messy moving left from there. Simplicity is usually the key to success on a shot like this.
