Bruce -

I am really surprised more folks haven't commented (in a favorable way) about this image. The colors are vibrant - alive, and the rippling water's mirror effect works exceptionally well; the resulting fragmented symmetry is quite appealing to my eyes.

There's little doubt what this image really is; just the same it reminds me of some Central American fabric patters stitched upon the sky. Assuming you shot this SHQ of RAW this will make a (rather large) marvelous print.

Thank you John, Ricardo and Leon...

This raced to my #3 most faved picture on Flickr, which did surprise me.

And - I never shoot RAW, Leon. I know...your supposed to get more out of it and all that, but I don't love spending time in the digital darkroom. Probably because I spent a LOT of time in analog darkrooms over the decades.

So, I like to do as much as I can 'in camera" - I actually carry things like a Nikon Soft filter, a cokin set with a dozen or so filters. I like to copy it out, adjust the contrast, re-size it, sharpen it, and be done.

I have found the Olympus digicams to be remarkable at "accurate white balance".

This picture is also remarkably sharp. Got to hand it to the C-5050Z, it's a heck of a little image-maker.

Thanks again for your kind comments...
