Longer Shutter Speeds

Set up on a tripod you can change the mood of water by giving it a slight misty feel or a feeling of motion, the eye doesn't see stop action, unless you blink really fast, so allowing the water to move while shooting gives the image a more realistic feel. Rather than shooting a fast shutter speed, I chose a slower one, in this case 1.6 seconds, I like the mood of images like this.
No filters used, single shot.
