A Thought on Long Exposure

Exposures of .8, 2 and 5 seconds were combined in Photomatix HDR software to get this result. The longest exposure contributed the detail in the moss and rocks. The middle exposure contributed a lot of the water detail. One advantage of merging in shorter exposures (such as the shortest one) is that you can get a bit of the spray to keep the result from abstracting too much.
