Paco Díaz from Palma de Mallorca, Spain
Well, it's a calm image of the water, but the submerged thing puts some intriguing element in it. Mmm...
7 May 2009 9:10am
@Paco Díaz: I know I just can't figure out what it is...It'll just have to go in and get it :) Thanks a lot Paco!
MrsAmber from West Wickham, United Kingdom
Is this the same 'thing' we saw in another photo of yours a couple of weeks back? It's an interesting image whatever it is. The water is just wonderfully captured with the gentle ripples. (Ooops nearly wrote rupples there instead of ripples..it's quite a nice word to say actually - sounds a bit like an inoffensive swear word!)
7 May 2009 10:47am
@MrsAmber: Rupples you say? lol and yes it's a close-up I was hoping so solve the mystery by one of my very smart and smart alec visitors lol thanks a lot Mrs A.
Kathycalculates from Indianapolis, United States
I love the colors and the movement of the water...reflective like satin but soft like velvet!
7 May 2009 11:40am
@Kathycalculates: oooo la la very poetic Kathy, I like it ;)

jeff (aka dogilicious) from Millerstown, PA, United States
Really interesting shot. I had the same thought as others on what it is. I thought it might be a flounder.
7 May 2009 6:26pm
@jeff (aka dogilicious): A huge possibility, so I'm hoping when I go in that he's gone lol thanks a lot Jeff :)
Judy from Brooksville, Florida, United States
Pretty neat close-up of the ripples ... and leaf perhaps, in the water. You captured a suspended bubble too. xx
