@annied no I have been quite ok thanks, we got drenched shortly after this was taken... I loved the breath of wind on the water, I have processed to exaggerate the gloom

This shot speaks to me in so many ways, fantastic!

It is rather comical to me, the log looks like me doing sit up and struggling to keep my legs down. Great in b&w

[Marina Shemesh]

Love the photo and caption Kali.

[kali]

@yaorenliu yes :D or alternatively it is doing pressups and its breath is causing the ripples...

[Yao RL]

only people doing yoga has that pose and the energy to cause the ripples.

[Bill Fenske]

Cool processing, love the log doing push ups, as we call them here.
