Igor, both inspiring. Your fine image here and the small video clip from "A River Runs Through It". I can truthfully say I cannot recall too much of that excellent movie having seen it all those years back now. I just recalled it was a fine one from Robert Redford's long list of cinema accomplishments as well as he being associated with the top flight environmental group the NRDC. I think I've belonged to that group longer then several others I've worked with over the many years now.
For me the entire image is a scene we often take for granted when we're out in the field. I personally do not get much chance to work around water. I might have missed this peaceful photographic scene up and also missed the mind respite it provides looking at it for a period of time. Your comment states a "tidal pool" so I assume this is a salt water location? The ripple shadows gives a slight look of a seashell on the FG larger white rock.

Paul, I figured that white seashell may be misidentified as a rock because of all the flow shadows. By the looks of it that shell has been there for a considerable time. It may even be a fragment of lower part of an oyster shell. Some oyster shells are pitted like that on the outside. The upper part of the image looks soft to me. I believe that may have been due to a bit greater depth causing a DOF issue (f/6.3). The geology around this lagoon has a lot of metamorphic rock, which gives those varied colors after the surface algae starts to appear. The trick as I recall was to wait for the tide to recede and expose rocks which were rarely dry.

A lovely warm, inviting look at these underwater pebbles (and worn shell), Igor. The shadows of the rippled surface are a great addition that adds a fine touch of the dynamic.

This is a lovely array of shapes and colors and the ripples add a sense of depth to this intimate landscape, Igor. Great eye to spot this one. I really like your placement of the eroded sea shell.

This is great I was just going to say I feel like I could really hear the water babbling over the stones but I see it"s a tidal pool. But I'll leave my comment stand. You've achieved the look of running water with the ripples. Love how they mimic the patterns in the shell.
