I like how you've captured the flow of the water. It still looks like water but you set the speed slow enough to indicate the water is moving! Perfect!
I only see 2 of the 3 of them. Flickr is saying the 3rd one is no longer available.

The first one of the Confederation Park series is also not showing for me. You captured the beauty of the Park perfectly in the last one (ducks swimming past a partially submerged tree). Spot on in my estimation! :)

I have replaced the missing shot of Tiffany Falls. Don't understand why it disappeared? :eek:

Thanks Nandakumar. Yes she is very loved.

The Large Pond at Confederation Park.

This roadway goes around the pond which is hidden by the trees on the right. Many people walk their dogs in this area.

Excellent! :) The missing photos show and they are beautiful!

Autumn colours can be a challenge but these have worked well. Including a person in the last one gives a nice sense of perspective scale.

Thanks Sandy

The above is one of the trails in Cootes Paradise; The roots provide some welcome traction on an otherwise slippery slope.

Thanks Geoff. More autumn colours in this tread.

I like the texture and the color combinations in both photos. I can almost smell the leaves, as you probably did while walking along the path! Well done! :)

A walk in LaSalle Park, on the North-East shore of Hamilton Harbour Bay.

Thanks Sandy.

Another wonderful picture! Don't forget to "duck" when you go under the limb! :)

Potentially a good image, Joe, but there is an area of out of focus undergrowth on the left side where it meets the shore.

I would crop the left side to remove it; or clone, maybe a mix of both. Several alternative size options are possible including also losing a bit from the top. I suspect a crop would concentrate the scene more on the ducks and produce a stronger overall image.

Good advice!

Nicely framed by the trees. Looks like a tricky dull day exposure which has worked well.

Thanks Geoff. I have done some cropping and also some cloning to get rid of the OOF areas. See how this looks:

44, 48, 56, nice captures in these posts.

That edit looks good to me, Joe.
