What a beautiful day for Wisconsin! I could actually walk around with a just a wool sweater. Now most people didn't even have that but I freeze too quickly and once it is 60 or warmer after a long winter people around here try to do everything they can outside.
Took lots of pic - it was one of those days that was more difficult to decide which one to choose. After I load them on face book I'll have a link. You can let me know if it works.
It's indeed much warmer and more beautiful than the original one. You also made the water more clear. 1/500 seconds makes the water 'freeze'. When you have the chance you can also try to use lower exposure times, though I guess that's not that easy on a compact camera. But also with less beautiful weather you'll have longer exposure time, resulting in more silken results. Also for me it's just trying to find the most beautiful result, but this is the theory.
Oh Wow!! I wished I lived even remotely by a place that looks like this!!! How gorgeous!!!! The original is beautiful - but way to go with this edit!!!!
