Hi Gabajo, it is a great pleasure to inform you that you are the winner of "Capture the fluid ripples" Challenge. Your photo is absolutely stunning, you have captured the rich textures, the rhythm and the fluidity of water. The golden sunset creates a beautiful palette of warm tones. Great depth of field along with a well composed image make it a winner. Congratulation and a well deserved bravo, this is my pick. Cheers and thank you so much for participating.

Behind The Lens

Location

Coming in off a little pond from fishing with my husband

Time

Sunset, mid summer

Lighting

The sunset gave me the natural lighting I needed.

Equipment

Canon t31 55-250 kit lense with stabilizer.

Inspiration

Coming off the water at sunset the silent little electric motor, on our 8 ft boat, was making beautiful ripples behind us. After a couple minutes of watching this, the sun set hit the water and lit it into beautiful colors of yellow and gold.

Editing

The only processing I did was tweek the yellow and gold a tiny bit to give it more depth, as my camera setting didn't quite get it as I was seeing it. It was just this beautiful naturally.

In my camera bag

When I'm adventuring outdoors I always wear a fanny pack to the front of me that has a macro lense, spare battery,cleaner & cloth. That way I can hike, hands free and have what I need close at hand.

Feedback

Using nature's art and natural light are a passion in my Photography. When I see the sun setting and when I can, I rush to the nearest water location to see what the setting sunlight will offer. Nature made this beautiful picture. I just had to be there, ready to capture it. It was fun to go fishing and get the catch of the day.without putting a hook in the water.
