Been on the road for work a bit lately. Fortunately, I was able to get out for a few minutes one afternoon and do a little shooting. Here is one image that I captured. Hope everyone likes it.

C&C welcome.

Sorry Steve, I don't like it............I LOVE IT! The clarity of the water really lets the colors of the stones come through.

I could stare at those pebbles for hours only to have my eye move right up to those peaks and the sky. Very well executed image!

Thanks for the comments everyone.

Paul, this is Lake McDonald in Glacier National Park. It was late in the day and with the storm moving in the power boats were off the lake (sure was strange seeing that in a national park) so the water calmed down.
