Michael Rawluk from Williams Lake, BC, Canada
It looks like you dropped all your diamonds.
29 Sep 2008 11:04pm
@Michael Rawluk: No they were offered to me gratis... pretty much like the diamonds of Am3 ;)
@[suvni:R]: Thanks so much SR, I appreciate it...they are the stars of Am3
Walter from Watkinsville, United States
The water is so clear. The rocks are clearly visible in various colors. But it is the shimmer of the diamonds in the water that really grab your attention in this composition. If only a trout would have been camped out in the water...
30 Sep 2008 12:41am
@Walter: Too shallow for a trout, but great spot for the stars :)
Jrask from Pasadena, United States
I agree with Michael, diamonds on the water...beautiful
30 Sep 2008 1:09am
@Jrask: Hey Josh, they are the stars of Am3...which one are you? :)
tyan from Singapore, Singapore
WOW.Caleb and Ian sang,'Twinkle twinkle little star' when they saw this.What a very creative and brilliant capture Lbabe.:)

30 Sep 2008 1:37am
@tyan: No worries my sweet, did you tell Caleb and Ian that they were the stars of Am3? and look there's the Tyan star and is it any wonder that next two it are two little stars? ;)
Martie from Versailles, United States
Beautiful, Lorraine! You need to bottle it and sell it to us when we need something bright to hold on to!
30 Sep 2008 2:34am
@Martie: But Martie, they're all of you, my visitors, you don't need to hold it you already have it ;)
Emilio Garcia from Pleasanton, United States

30 Sep 2008 7:01pm

Andrew Gould from Sydney, Australia
I'm amazed at this. No filters? The effect is magical, and even more so for the stars being on the left side only, making for a complete contrast with the rest of the frame.
1 Oct 2008 3:19am
@Andrew Gould: Hey Andrew, thanks a lot...I think the magic of it, is no technique at all, I couldn't get the shot as low as I wanted too, unless I sat in the water lol so I had to put my camera as ldown as it could go without wetting it and letting it take it lol
marianne from Toulouse, from France, France
dis c'est où ta planète, que je vienne y vivre, même si je dois camper ...

1 Oct 2008 1:24pm
@marianne: Tu es une etoile doree, c'est tres important des etoiles dorees! Je te jure ;)
Magda from Vancouver, Canada
