Lovely. I like the fact that the shutter speed was slow enough to catch some swirling lines in the moving water, yet fast enough to capture some recognizable bubbles - a perfect compromise in my opinion. Better for this print than the milky white blur of a long exposure. Any guess as to what the length of exposure may have been?
 
Thanks, fellows! It was a great day so serves as a nice memory, too.

Jon,
I made two exposures - this was the faster of the two by one stop. Let's see, it was.... 1/15 or 1/8 or 1/4. I'm thinking 1/8. As fast as I could go without underexposing. Like You said I didn't want to loose the bubbles into a white blur - but I wanted some movement. Thanks again!
