Reeds and Ripples Photo

Photographer’s Note

Besides the stems emerging from and casting sumi-e-looking shadows on the surface of the lake, my attention was drawn to the colony of small round waterbugs that swiftly dispersed on the surface of the water with an enormous speed. Here they are captured for posterity ;-)

hi sarolta, this is a very sweet composition; i like the effect you have managed to get: the bulbs-like looking waterbugs surrounded by slightly wrinckled water;
i wish you had displayed exif data: like exposure time for instance
