Whirl

blue sky, not water.

This was all done in-camera. The only Photoshop work I did on it was in increasing the contrast/curves and adjusting the levels.

This is my most popular photo, so I figured I'd do it justice with a full-resolution version. The original upload (with comments, etc.) can be seen here:

I thought I commented on this before, but I guess I didn't...This is one of your best. I love how at first glance it looks like the leaves are floating in water. The sense of movement is obviously great, but I really like the contrast too, the darkness behind the blossoms.

So pretty.... the ripples are just such perfect circles, and the pattern of flowers in the water looks just like a Japanese kimono pattern!
