    Denise, for me river blurs like this are art. Love the detail in the flowing water and how the white water divides the greenish flow with the darker flowing water. Nice! :)

    Andrew, Thank you for commenting.I agree, I like the tension between the two parts and the softness of the flow.

    Love it! Looks like a painting. I don’t care whether one calls it art or not. It’s beautiful and that’s enough for me.
