They were bedding down for the night. This is one of two shots he/she was still enough you could see the black of the eye out of 6 or 7 shots.

I would play with the white balance some. It has a strange color tint to it to me. Otherwise it is a great shot.

This pic is how it looked when I put it on the computer.

I hit auto adjust and that is what I put on my thread starter. This pic is at a city park and there is a street light to the cameras right and another over my left shoulder. Could that have been a reason for the tinting? H

 

[Stevenl]

Wrong pic but this is how they all looked pre-auto adjust.

That looks like a nice place to shoot, Steven. I wish I had more streams and running water closer to my house. I suppose the upside is, I can drive 10 minutes and get to the ocean/coastline. Here's a shot that I took on the coastline:

Shutter priority AE, 1/10 sec, f/22, ISO 50, @135mm Compensation: +2/3 (handheld)

As you can see, I had the shutter open for 1/10s and a still got a nice milky look to the water. It does depend on the speed at which the water is traveling and the movement it creates, but 13 seconds may be a bit long. I'd go back and try the shot again on shutter priority with a shorter shutter speed and see if you can achieve the same effect.

Good luck and keep shooting. :thumbup:
