Took this image in a small pond (where i took the "Reflections of Reality" http://www.birdphotographers.net/forums/showthread.php?t=60029 image) near Ramanagara, about 80km from Bangalore. Water was very still. I dropped a stone to create a ripple and selected one with a hint of that. Appreciate your views.

EXIF: D700, 300mm F4 + 1.4x TC, 1/160s, f/11, ISO 200, tripod mount, remote release, full frame

HI Ramesh! I would only say i wish there was more texture in the water to bring the composition together.

I quite like this Ramesh...maybe having one or two more "hinted" ripples would have anchored it more as Bob said, but great thinking and composition overall.

Hi Ramesh,As close to a mirror image as you can get. I like the idea and agree about the one or two more hinted ripples anchoring the base. Interesting image!

Dragonfly is a definite plus. I am good with the few ripples as presented. Different strokes, different folks.

Hi Ramesh,
While I can see the point of the others for more ripples.......I'm with Robert on this one.....very efffective yet simple! I think more ripples would give a different feel....this one is very serene!
