love the ripple!

That rope steals the scene: so clean and tactile. The reflection ripples seem to form a rope of their own.

Looks like a great place. Love the little ripples. Very nice contrast between near and far.

The rope in the foreground gives great perspective to the shot and I like the movement in the reflection.

You have a lot of wetland birds?

We have a reserve just near to my school, and I love to see big flocks of oyster catchers.

I used to go to Bolsa Chica quite a bit when I was living in Long Beach. That was many years ago.

As usual, you show a great art in your reflection shot... I like the framing ; it is so unsual... And the color are superb too.
