WC 335 - Golden Ripples

Gallery: Weekly ChallengePosted June 8, 20081,174 views11 comments
I'm always drawn to the golden ripples of shallow water. This was mid morning light over very shallow water with a mud bottom. 30D, ISO 100, f/11, 1/125, small crop. C&C always welcome and appreciated.

Rob, I think this is excellent. The effect created by the parallel lines criss-crossing at almost perfect right angles is mesmerizing. No way does it look like a muddy bottom; it looks like a perfect world of gold and copper. And best of all there's a place to rest the eyes in the upper-right before traversing the image again.

Great contribution . :toast:

This is very nice in detail, clarity, and overall color too. The ripples here provide a perfect example of a "working or moving" pattern in motion if you will. Nice work, Rob.
