Walking on Water

Actually they skate on top of it via surface tension.

What lovely pics, and the effect of the water is terrific and sets off the water skater perfectly.

Very nice. I use to be able to watch these things for hours when the fish weren't biting. - TF

Beautiful shots Loupey, great job!

[Loupey]

Thank you all for taking the time to comment.

Water reflections have become my latest obsession - difficult to find the right setting/subject, hard to find the exact shooting angles, rare to find the proper sun/cloud/reflection combinations, but so satisfying when it comes together.

Thanks again. Will keep working on it.

That first shot is simply......wow. The tiny little lens flares, the framing, the clarity. I bow to you sir =)

The last one is superb !!

[Loupey]

Jaedon & AgingEyes - thank you both for the comments.

I found another one from that day that looks pretty good I think. I like the look of the ripples on the surface.

Thanks again, everyone.

I like them all but my favorite is the last one in the original post. I just like the way it is headed toward you in the shot. I thinks it make the capture much more interesting. Grat work as always, Jeff

Update on that 3rd image: I sent it in to National Geographic a couple days ago and it went live today as one of 12 for today. You can vote on it or any of the other images for this month here:
