Around the Lake

Thankyou for your time.

I love what you saw with the reflections in the water. I love reflections and I love water shots. Keep looking at the reflections! Great Image!

I like the gentle ripples in the water giving nice distortion to the reflections. I've tried this sort of thing myself a couple of times and was surprised how difficult it was to get a decent result. Now in my shots these ripples were me - chucking in old branches and stuff lying about then quickly firing off the camera while the water was still moving! :-)

LOL. Colin, that's what I describe as dedicating yourself fully to your photography. Sometimes we just have to resort to helping nature out a bit. Unfortunately I was on a hike with a friend who doesn't share my passion, so I grabbed a quick shot sans tripod. It was a lovely tranquil scene and I longed to linger over the shot but risked causing a few ripples myself if I didn't keep moving. Sometime I'll go back on my own and take all the time I want.

This is exquisite, Hanna.... I love the clarity, smooth ripples in the foreground, and the reflected blue sky on it... Excellent composition and very lovely colors....!!!

And WOW from me Brad. Hearing that from you is a great compliment.

This is a lovely photo. Its the kind you look at and say "I wish I could have done that." There is just something about the way the sky reflected in water with the waves that is so appealing. Very nice work.

Thanks Larry, it was just a snapshot but sometimes they get the message across best. I feel with shots like this you just have to be lucky to get the movement of the water placing the lines just right.

Great shot Hanna I too love the ripples in the water..Makes me want to be there.Thanks for sharing this
