Smooth, silky water.

You can do it without an ND filter, but the filter makes it more controllable, and relying less on the weather/time of day and the abilities of your camera playing along.

Specifically, I tried getting the same effect last weekend on a hike. I wanted the smooth, misty water effect but I didn't have an ND filter with me so I just overexposed by a couple of stops at f/22 and ISO 50 to get a 0.5s exposure in bright daylight. It sort of worked but the whites in the water were blown out and unrecoverable.

I wonder if you just take a couple of tripoded 0.5s exposures if you just blend the water parts all together as a composite if it ends up looking similar.

I think you'd need a lot of images in the composite to get the same level of motion blur that you'd get from a ~1s exposure.

If you're interested, this does work ok (but a filter is so much less work):

Ain't nobody got time for any of that. Just go stand by a waterfall at midnight and do your single long exposure then.

I'd be careful with your contrast. I think it's being applied in a way that is too stark.

Looks like more than one of us need to clean our sensors.

The red on the clouds is pretty badass but the water looks poop and the horizon feels crooked.

How is the water poop? Legit asking, not being all sniffy about it.

Compare it to the sky, where you got lots of texture and color to look at. The water is a flat grey void taking up a fifth of the image doing nothing.

Obviously there's nothing you can do about that, you can't tell the water to suddenly look badass, but maybe some of it could be cropped out or if you get a situation like that again, include a foreground subject. A boat or a person, or everyone's favorite shoreline cliche: a dock.

I though it was pretty cool, less the giant dirt speck and crooked horizon, but my taste is poo poo.

Good points. I'll straighten the horizon and try to clone out the speck and re-crop. This time there wasn't much of anything interesting for the sea as I was on a jetty. Let me see if I have any with the jetty in them.

Okay, this is my only try polishing this turd, but is this a better edit?

DSC_0456 by Joe Pitha, on Flickr

Straightened, cleaned and cropped much of the water out (I don't have any jetty photos until the sun was a good deal higher and the dramatic red sky faded). This is as good as this one gets. Lesson learned for next time! I'll always be a bad photographer, but at least I won't be as bad forever.

It's about as good as it's gonna get.

Mark it down as a life lesson, get up even earlier and find a subject beforehand. Hang on to the photo to remind you next time. This is what 99% of my Lightroom catalog is.

For some stupid reason I always feel annoyed when I have to crop a photo to correct composition. But it's really a very necessary and legitimate part of the process of not always making lovely photography. Especially when working with medium format film.

I usually take two photos, one composed how I think I want it, then another zoomed out a little bit to give me some crop freedom later on. It also means you don't lose as much of the scene if you have to straighten it up.
