Oh yess!!!
Amazing colour tones and sharp definition, the reflections add atmosphere.
Just super all round. As per usual.
Jubbly :o)

wow! is this underwater?? incredible

How did you do that!? The clarity and detail are amazing!

Thank you Al, Tony and Tommy. It was a very slow part of the river with very dence maple trees growing out over top and this created the shadowing with highlights caused from openings in the canopy. I moved around to get rid of most of the reflections and took multiple shots varying the bracketing and focus zones. This was the whole image except a slight crop from the bottom.

oh i didnt see those little things in there? What are they? Did u add them in?

Extremely cool image! I like the three water bugs (I forget what they're called, something obvious probably) in the upper right. The light quality is especially good - it almost looks like the water itself is glowing - which gives it an almost spiritual feel. I really like this one.

Thank you Susan...I believe they are called water striders.

EWE again, lol Darryl. But a wonderful water shot indeed.

Still water over stones, has a meditative feel to it. Where the striders touch the water they leave wonderful floral shadows. in my favorites, on my desktop. again.

Wow.....I love all the textures that I can see on the rocks. Gives the whole image a really cool effect. The water is very calm & the shadows are gentle enought to make me feel like I am there!!! Don't like those water striders those..YUCKY!!!! You get a 10 for 2 reasons..one is the quality of this image & the other is for going underwater to obtain it!! Brave man you are.....better than me!!. In my fav's on my HD & thank you :))

Beautiful image!! Like the colors of the stones.Great shot,Darryl.

I don't think I can improve on Mimi's reasons for loving this. I do have to say that the normally bothersome water striders give this image a fun touch of light.

I really like this image Daryll. The Water Skeeters' shadow is what makes it for me. It gives the image a great deal of depth, especially as the water is so clear it's hard to tell how deep it is and if there really is water there. 10 x 10

Nice shot for the spost light and above all for the 3 little animals walking on the water with theirs shadow on the stones and the vivid light on the feet.09/10

It has everything - light, texture, patterns, colour - a classic shot, Darryl. 10/Favs

Wow, thank you all so much for the wonderful comments while I sit and enjoy a cup of Java:-)

It's all been said already about this marvelous shot, Darryl, so I'll just make it unanimous. 10/10 from me and lots of kudos. :)

another perfect job done by darryl, good shot!

Wow, this is great. It's going straight to my desktop and faves. Really brilliant.

I find it simply amazing that you were able to capture those tiny little water striders in this photo! Even their shadows on the river bed are visible. Stunning! I am very impressed. This is definitely a shot for my favorites.

Brilliant! This reminds me of my wardrobe's color tones. Simply wonderful! Pat yourself on the back.

Another great wallpaper. Wonderful in full size :-)

It's got all of my favorite colors. Looks damn good on my desktop too. This is a great image. thanks for putting it up. ; )

A rocking shot mayne! HA! ROCKING! somebody shoot me or at least express a complaint on a bad sense of humour on sucha good image.

Superb! The clarity is amazing for an underwater shot - only a few little areas of ripple shadows give it away. And the pond skaters - their shadows are astonishing too, with their bright haloes. Another great picture :-)

Thank you everyone...this is not under water however;-)

Here I am clear at the bottom. Favorites. :D

WOW , amazing picture, the light is so perfect, great Darryl.

very impressive! the lighting is unique, well done!

Darryl you never cease to amaze me with your images... This is absolutely wonderful! Thank you for sharing it with us. 10/10 and favorites... I think I almost got all your images in my favorites :-P

Simply put.....FANTASTIC!!!!!

Superior capture in all aspects, Darryl. Kudos.

It really is great to come back and see what you may have missed the first time going through an artist's galleries.

This, for one.

Simplistic, but not.

And by no means, do I infer by the following comment, that this effort is less than your usual stellar photos ... but, this is a great wallpaper for a desktop. Very colour rich, incredible detail ... some nice shadows.

And those wonderful water striders are like a bonus. I was lost just taking in the image ... and then, they appeared. Perfect, too, I might add. Would love to see a blowup of this focusing on them. Almost balletic in their poses.

Really great work.

An interesting shot.
I love the colours and the textures.

WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! AMAZING!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! FAVED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
