I have always preferred my moving water shots to look similar to this one above but have always been told by "experts" they should be like DSC1593 and others in this batch. I would appreciate your opinion or comments on which give the best impression of motion and the sheer force of water. Thank you.

Your comments most welcome on which is most expressive of moving water and the sheer force of it?

Drystone walling

Probably centuries old dry stone walling in seemingly haphazard fashion but very scenic! Best in black.

Malhamdale

15 Aug 2019 1 63
Malham is a small village, in the Pennines, at the southern base of the Yorkshire Dales. It’s a pretty place, surrounded by limestone dry-stone walls, & with a stream running right through the middle of the village. Mentioned in the Domesday book as ‘Malgun’, Malham has been a settlement for at least a thousand years. Traces of Iron age boundaries are still visible today. One hundred years ago, Malham was a place of mills and mines. Nowadays, hill farms and tourism are the main activities. Better in black.

Malham Cove

15 Aug 2019 1 47
The 70 metre (230ft) high, gently curving cliff of white limestone has amazed visitors for centuries. Formed along the line of the Middle Craven Fault, it has been eroded backwards from the line of the fault by the action of water and ice over millions of years. Over the last one and a half million years, Malham was probably covered at least three times with huge sheets of ice. As these glaciers ground their way over the landscape they plucked rock from the face of the Cove and carried it away. Each time the glaciers melted, huge floods of water further eroded the face of the Cove. The water flows underground now, but then, the ground was permanently frozen and so the glacial meltwater had to run over the top. The result was that a massive waterfall once thundered over the Cove. The cave systems usually carry away any water before they reach the fall; however, Malham Cove temporarily became a waterfall for what is believed to be the first time in centuries on 6 December 2015, after heavy rainfall from Storm Desmond. Today, the sheer rock face of Malham Cove challenges climbers and also protects a pair of nesting peregrine falcons which can be viewed during the summer months diving and wheeling alongside the house martins and jackdaws that also call the Cove home.
