Hi @jayasimha78 ,

I love this photo! Can you share some tips on how you took it? What camera you used and any special effects or editing tools? The colors are amazing on this one, and it looks like there might be a bit of long exposure?

@DanniS Thanks for the appreciation.

This was taken with Nikon D750, tripod was used. Here are the settings

f/9 1 Sec ISO 100

Taken with a 28-300mm Nikon lens

Shot in RAW mode.

I post processed using Lightroom.

As you guessed it is 1 Sec exposure, not too long, just enough to get some silky water effect.
