Beautiful capture! You must have some steady hands, because I know I can't get a shot as sharp as your with 1/10th of a second.

With all the rain we have had the water was quite fast flowing - hence it was not necessary to have such a high shutter speed.

Thanks for your appreciated comments. I used the aperture of F22 in order to get a relatively slow shutter speed. The shot, overall, is not particularly sharp but Pixel Genius Sharpener Pro is such a brilliant sharpening software that I was able to put more sharpening on to the main points of view - the two rocks.

1- Why didnt use Manual Mode or Time Priotity? since you didn't want to freeze the action of streaming water? You adjusted the aperture to f/22 to get a sharp shot of the whole scene.

2- You only used a PS to sharpen the rocks? Do you recommend using PS to adjust photos?

Thank you and sorry for the dumb questions

1) I did purposely NOT want to freeze the water hence the high F22 aperture to give me the best chance of overall sharpness to the image and a slow shutter speed to blur the high flowing water.

2) To be in control of my images I do like to shoot in manual mode or aperture priority. I new that at ISO 100 and an aperture of F22 I would likely have a slow enough shutter speed to blur the fast flowing water. I never use PS to sharpen images only Pixel Genius Sharpener Pro which I find allows me complete control over my degree and where I require extra sharpening.

Definitely not dumb questions and I only hope my explanations have been helpful.
