Clouds and Ripples

This is an off the cuff image I took while chatting with Monte the other morning in RMNP. The ripples look much better in the larger version. I'd love to hear your thoughts, good or bad.
I cloned out a few annoying specs on the water.
Thanks,
Paul

I love the clouds and ripple, but the grass divides the shot a bit too much for me, i think there needs to be more of it (or none) to balance the comp.

A fine reflection. The composition works for me as is.
I'd clone out a few more water specks, especially those at the outer edge of the ripple.

i like it exactly the way it is! very nice Paul!

I like it as is too, colours compliment each other wonderfully! - great eye Paul!.

This shot made me smile. I even chuckled out loud a little. Pure whimsy. I'm with Stan that the grass is a little awkward, but there needs to be something like that there, maybe just a differently composed/shaped patch of grass. (ilikerunonsentencesdoyou?)

Thanks for your thoughts everyone.

Clouds and ripples, and curlies...I like how the clouds look like they are curling in the upper mid left of the image. Nice colors.

I think this is one of those unique nature shots we all wish we could put together on a recurring basis, but find really hard to accomplish. You did that perfectly here. The comp, the colors, and the moment all combine to make an outstanding photo.
