    It’s a great shot Ralph, I love the reflection and the rippling in the water.

  • Ralph Olsson replied

    Cheers mate, lucky i keep mall these stored safely away. The ripples were caused by my daughter throwing a stone in the water:))

    I think she is showing her eye for a good photograph just like her father, or she was just being mischevious he he:)

  • Ralph Olsson replied

    LOL!! No i had asked her to throw stones at one of the trunks…after about ten goes she got the one i wanted:))

    BTW…Where’s the candid shot of your daughter causing ripples in your calm water? :D

  • Ralph Olsson replied

    LOL!!! She was a bit annoyed with me…it was a rotten day for the weather, rain, heavy cloud…and she was a rotten shot…9 out of 10 missed their mark…many landing in the opposite direction LOL!!! So she was over dad and his attempt to create an image:))

    This is so one of the best photos I have ever seen PERIOD!!

    I am blown away it’s incredible. Such power and emotive strength. It’s one to take a photo but another to capture the very essence of a scene.

    Great Stuff.

  • Ralph Olsson replied about 4 hours ago

    Mate, thak you so much…i have tried so many times to go back and score another shot…alas, no such luck. The silt build up had created the milky whiteness of the water, and the heavy cloudsand my youngest daughter (throwing the stone to cause the ripples) did the rest:))
