Amateur - First waterfall shot

[amit_behindthecamera]

Hi,
Photography as a hobby/interest is new to me, have learnt a lot from DPS. I usually was satisfied with "Auto" mode but now I have started to play around with Manual settings. I recently bought a Canon Powershot S5 IS.

I have taken the attached snap in manual mode (1st pic) with slow shutter speed to get the motion blur effect. The same snap taken in auto mode has adequate light (both I have taken without flash). But this seems to be a bit dark, what seems to have gone wrong?

Any suggestions/corrections/hints would be really helpful !

(I don't have Photoshop or any other software just compressed the photo in MS Picture Manager)

Thanks in advance.

Moved to the Landscape photography section - "Critique My Shot" is for comments on a single photo (although, if people ask, you can post other versions as a follow-up). It will get less buried here anyway and hopefully turn up some answers about the set-up rather than just the composition and contents of the shot.

look nice... the manual one. what was your white balance setting at? that would most likely be the reason for the bluish tinge.

perhaps straightening them would make it a little easier to the eye./

Thanks for the reply.
I didn't change the white balance setting, it was in AWB mode. Maybe should have changed it to Shade?

Sorry that thumbs down for the topic was a really silly mistake
