Nice composition Tonia. Now I KNOW you didn't put those rocks there, but they couldn't have been placed better for the photo. :o)

Regards,
Doyle I <~~~~~

Thanks Doyle, and you're right, I didn't put the rocks there. Some other kind soul decided to create an art installation during a visit and I merely took advantage of the moment :)

And they're having quite the conversation. Beautiful.
Takes me home Tonia, once again, thanks for your wonderful eye.

Great shot. The stillness of the rocks against the movement of the water. I love nature pics

They make me wonder, could I jump from one to the other? No, not now, but my inner child wants to give it a try.

Definitely like this one! It looks a lot like a Zen garden kind of thing.

Peaceful picture calms me...Thanks for posting this gem to Photographic Reflections!

When the rocks STOP remaining still is the time to start worrying.
Gorgeous photograph.

those look like some pretty sloth like rocks to me. sitting on one would make a great thinking spot.
There you go getting all zen on me again.

Thanks for a bit of tranquility in the midst of chaos.

You always get it right. Tell me there are dozens that you delete because they aren't perfect and make me feel better. I relax just looking at this.

Beautiful reflections.

Would love this, large and framed, over my bed.

Exquisite!

The contrast and the movement of the water form a most compelling juxiposition. Fantastic
mona d. Jan 9, 2009, 10:53am EST

Mariana T. Jan 9, 2009, 12:55pm EST
Such magic, I could stare at this scene all day long - you know me and Rocks have a thang - I can wait to see my sister Rocksana back on the Santa Barbara shores! Salud

An excellent composition a great still life!
I like the tranquility of this!
Tory H. Jan 13, 2009, 6:42pm EST
Stunning!
Rose (just an ole GA peach) Williams Jan 16, 2009, 9:05pm EST
And even in their stillness...they speak volumes...like the trees or flowers. You capture this so well here T. I have sorely missed your amazing photography and I'm glad to back here to enjoy it again.
Svetlana Goryacheva Jan 18, 2009, 3:53pm EST
Breathtaking, dear Tonechka! ;-)

Love and hugs - S.

I don't have time to read everyone's comments and I am catching your image at the end of my lunch break so please forgive me if I repeat the obvious, but "stillness" would have to be a matter of opinion. Granted, these guys are not doing a tap dance, but their surfaces are catching the light, throwing back all kinds of color, and the surfaces are curving and darting all over the place. There's no "stillness" to be had anywhere on these gentle giants. But, like I said, that's just one observation, and you know how tricky the old eye sight can be. ;-)

Rocks know how to be mellow....
Alison H. Jan 27, 2009, 10:04pm EST
Nice capture!

YOU HAVE IT: THE EYE THE WORLD WOULD HAVE PASSED THAT EMIGE BY.
SAD HUH? BUT YOU MAKE MY MOMENT WITH YOPUR WORK. A 10+, BUT I CAN'T VOTE.
TOO OPENIONATED AND CRANKY TO BE A GATHERITE.
