Photographing water in streams and rivers is a balancing act. You have choices for how the movement of water appears in the photo and that affects the feeling the image conveys. In this photo, the bright light on the scene required a faster shutter speed of 1/80 second to prevent over exposing the rushing white water. This in turn stopped the splashing water instead of rendering it a smooth blur. The effect is one of energy and sound.
