PG 101 Negative Space theme entry

Another marsh landscape from the nature reserve of Etang de la Gruère near Saignelégier, Switzerland.
I was lucky to catch the ripples in the water created from a hungry trout search for a morning snack.
In the background you can see the morning fog burning off.

  Beautifully composed with, once again, great clarity. I can see why you were so excited when you got back from your hike and first saw your images. They are super.

  Peaceful and stunning Les! It almost looks like that log is stirring the lake (but of course, we know from your description it was the trout).

  We get a lot of fog in the mornings here aat the lake this time of year, Les, but my view isn't nearly this pristine or lovely through it. You've captured this beautifully.

  This looks so peaceful Les. It makes me wonder if there is a lunker bass (which I doubt you have where you live, but if this place was in the South, this looks just like where one would hide)hiding among the branch in the water. I sure wouldn't mind casting a line in on this beautiful morning! Great theme entry and sorry I am late in commenting but I finally had to go to bed this morning about 5AM!
