This photo was taken on the banks of the Finley River, at the Finley River Park in Ozark, MO, on June 25th, 2017, with my Moto Z phone. We were walking on the sidewalk along the river, and I decided to take a picture of the lake. The weather was calm, with a few clouds in the sky. The surface of the water was very smooth, almost mirror like. I noticed a couple of minnows swimming beneath the water's surface, so I decided to take a burst of pictures. The final result was this picture, with what seemed to be two, or maybe three, minnows swimming along the river bottom. I used the GIMP photo program, along with the G'MIC plugin, to increase the contrast and color depth slightly. Upon looking at the photo in full size, I counted around 20 minnows in the screen, along with a tiny dragonfly at the top of the picture, just left of center.
