Magnificent Fall colors! Ripple pattern on the water gives it that extra movement and "oomph".

Location
This photo was taken around the Greer's Ferry area in Arkansas. This is the Little Red River that feeds Greer's Ferry Lake.Time
This photo was shot early afternoon (1:20) in mid January 2015.Lighting
What caught my eye was the lighted pattern on the water from the slight breeze and sun.Equipment
I used a old camera (Sony Cybershot) which has a build-in zoom lens. It was show at an ISO of 125 with shutter speed of 1/60 of sec. at aperture of 6.3.Inspiration
I was taking a photography class and one of the assignments was curves in nature. The curve of the river along with the curved light pattern seem to fit the subject matter.Editing
The only post processing I did was make the sky a little bluer.In my camera bag
At the time I had only the Sony camera that was all inclusive. No I carry a Nikon 3200 with a 35-50mm lens and a 50-300mm lens.Feedback
The only advice would give is to keep your eyes open. A shot could be right around the corner or weather conditions could be correct to cause a special moment.
