This picture is from Boulder Creek and shows the water becoming turbulent as it is forced over and around a submerged rock.

This is a calming image, I really like the use of natural light.
I really enjoy the colors in this image. Very crisp and clean.
Very pretty blues and yellows (I assume from the sky and submerged rocks, respectively?). I agree with some other commenters that a quicker shutter speed would sharpen the image, especially the bubbles in the turbulent flow. But overall, I really like the lightning and your framing of the image.
I like the colors that pop out in the image! Yellow and blue are nice complimentary colors.
Great image! I like the natural lighting that you utilized in the image.
I really enjoyed the colors you captured in this photo!
The turbulence of the creek water is a phenomenal contrast to the laminar flow surrounding the submerged rock. What do you think about the focus of the image?
I love how laminar the water looks streaming over the rocks and how that contrasts with the center of the image.
Loving the colors portrayed in this image. It shows the beauty of the water.
I like that we can visualize the laminar and turbulent flow in the image.
I like how you can see the contrast between laminar and turbulent flow
I like the reflections of the surroundings on both laminar and turbulent flows
The water looks great in this image. I love the gold-ish color on the left side of the picture.
l love the coloring of the water and the flow. It is interesting to see the both the turbulent and laminar flow and their interaction.
The water looks so smooth in the background and I love the contrast between calm and rough water. Great nature (and fluids) pic!
I like the triangle shape of the laminar flow outlining the turbulent flow. I think it’s been mentioned already, but you can get it more crisp with a quicker shutter speed. You can see some pretty crisp small bubbles all the way off to the right, the photo already has a pretty good shutter speed.
I really love the reflected colors, it gives me the feeling of a painting.
This image has so many colors and it’s super vibrant! What forces were acting here?
I like the colors in this image, but I wish it was a little crisper. Try lowering your shutter speed for a crisper image of water, or increasing it to really capture the water’s movement.
