Good morning Kari!
A really calm giving scenery - and a beautiful one! These slight waves add a lot here, they create a tiny not disturbing bit of dynamics. Really a photo "to dream into" ...
Greetings from grey, humid and cool Germany!

Hi Kari, I've tried to pronounce the name of this beautiful lake and failed badly. Nevertheless, it's a lovely summer scene. Everything is so crisp and the ripples on the water add dynamism and texture. DOF is great too. Thanks for sharing, Lisa.

Hi Kari,
Actually it's quite elegant with the reflection decorating the wave action. The curve of the wave looks like it's radiating from a central disturbance - like a fish jumping or a stone dropping.

Speaking of fish, the previous post is quite a nice catch both literally and photographically. Was that for dinner or just for the fun of the catch? I see nets mostly used when the fish is to be returned to the water.
HLJ, Pat

Hello Kari,
the rippled water (and the rippled reflection) adds a nice effect to this tranquil, almost idyllic scene :)
I like this very good composition and soft rich colours!
Best regards,
Elena

Hi Kari,
very picturesque and excellently composed impression of the lake. The colors are very pleasant and harmonious and the light and the reflections are really beautiful. Most of all I like how the waves are almost creating circles. TFS!
Warm regards
Harriet
