Sinkhole

I went for a quick trip to the Ladybower reservoir today, I knew the it would be full due to the masses of rain so the sink holes would be flowing. Thought I'd try a long exposure shot

I works pretty well too, a good subject for a long exposure image. The only slight negative for me is that there is not more detail in the sky, it has got a bit burned out in the top right.

Interesting photo. I would leave colours though, as - according to our "cliche" discussion - "b&w should be reserved for street photography only"

I don't know about it being reserved, but I would like to see the colour version, even without the long exposure.

This is an excellent spot. JEALOUS !!

Would like it to have just a little more room in the frame though. Its cropped very tightly

Nice image, Paul. It looks a pretty scary place - by the size of the wall that must be one huge hole.

I think it's great as it stands. Well done.

Sometimes I'm serious and sometimes not, but I consider sarcasm an artform. Which is it today?

Its very striking and attention-grabbing , and appears very crisp and sharp throughout the whole DOF (well, I mean a large DOF!). The long exposure movement works perfectly on the sinkhole, but I find it annoying in the sky. Maybe on another occasion you could shoot an extra frame at a wider aperture and faster speed to catch the sky without movement blur, and blend the two in PS?

Very good, but I must agree the bright area of sky is fighting with the sink-hole for attention.

WOW! you must have thrown a really big stone in to get that

I don't want to see the colour version, I'm happy with this one, although I can't decide if I'd have preferred a little more space round the sides, as a result I can only give it 9.9/10

I think is an excellent photo, very eye catching.

I do agree though if you could tone down the highlights in the sky a little.
