I'd welcome your thoughts on this, the area where the water hits the pool is very white I have tried to add burn to tone it down is this the best way of doing this or may be it does not need it, what do you think

I like it as it is - very atmospheric, lovely silky feel to the water

Thanks for the positive comment. I just wondered if the white cold be toned down, but thanks good to get a positive

I would not touch it at all. A very atmospheric picture. Well done.

I agree with this - I wouldn't change a single pixel on this photo. Great job.

I don’t like cotton wool water, but this very abstract, and I like it. Well thought through.

In general, I do not like 'cotton wool' water, either. While the effect is frequently overdone and shows a lack of imagination, it can be effective as it is here.

Thanks for the really positive comments, I won't touch it. Just thought the whites were too blown out.

Superb photograph and if it were mine I'd be really pleased with it. However, if you have Nikon download software it may be able to tell you if there is "burn out", this may be why you cannot change the whiteness. Due to the dramatic black and white it may have fooled your camera - things to consider next time - did you use spot, partial or evaluative metering? Did you use an ND filter to hold the white back during a longer exposure? Your histogram would have been quite erratic probably, but again live view can be set to show areas of burn out which could have been controlled in-camera ......... and after all that its a very nice shot!

Love it! I agree with the others, you should be very pleased with it

burn out? yes, but I really feel that this image is perfect as it stands - mess around with it as you like, but this is the one that does it for me!
