Stunning!!

So gorgeous!!! Did you use any filter with the 10 second exposure to get it so smooth? Or did the aperture and low ISO allow it naturally? If you did use a ND filter, what kind? I don't live very close to water, so I haven't had many opportunities to experiment. Plus I just have a low end adjustable ND filter that works for some things, but I'm still trying to figure out getting the water this smooth when I do get the chance to be near water...

Thanks! I used just a polarized filter, not ND. I allways set ISO 50 and the higher aperture (f 11 to 22).

Beautiful!

Very well done!
