Nice shot! I don't know what a water skipper is (a bug?), but the shadow looks like paw prints in the water.

Thanks everyone. Cheryl, these are the rings caused by the movement of a water skipper on the water's surface. The odd little shadow in the lower left is the shadow cast by the water skipper. I saw symmetry in the rings themselves, but I suppose the difference in lighting on the left and right--makes the rings (and symmetry) less obvious. Melanie

very nice abstract. I have difficulties to find the symmetry though.

Great work,

Beautiful color and light here, Melanie...good eye to notice & capture the symmetry in the skipper's repeating surface ripples. Nice, natural abstract. MFC

Great ripples in symmetry, Melanie. Lighting and shadows very nice as well. Helen
