Eliza Waters 
Interesting shot Eliza!
Thank you, Dawn! 🙂
I love photographs such as these!
Thank you, Anne! Glad you enjoyed it.
Intriguing
Thank you, Derrick, it’s a fun water bug to watch.
Excellent.
Thank you!
Love this!
Thanks – they are such a part of our childhood. 🙂
Fabulous. A skater and its shadow!
Thank you, Lisa!
Hope that bug isn’t afraid of it’s own shadow!
Hehe, or others! 😉
Cool capture, I have swarms of water spiders in, or should I say “on” my koi pond. They are a natural addition and always fun to watch.
Thank you, C.S. It is fun to watch them skate around, as if on glass.
Nicely seen!
Thank you, Maggie!
Refraction!
🙂 Yes, indeed – rather fun!
What a mesmerizing shot. Love it!
Always fun to capture spring “finds”!
Yes, it is. I’ve always been fascinated by these bugs!
Fantastic shadow!
Isn’t that fun? I couldn’t resist!
Great shot!
Thank you, Karina!
Interesting shot. I clicked on the photo trying to enlarge it and somehow connected to Pinterest offering “more like this.” Nebula shots and paintings showed up!
Ha, algorithms! Who knew that water striders were cosmic? 😉
I honestly couldn’t figure out what your picture was so I cheated and looked at the comments. Now I know it is a water strider. Cool composition, Eliza!! 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼
Thanks, Amy! 🙂
Took me a minute. 😀 … I thought it might be a collection of wormholes at the edge of space! 😀
Hehe, yes, not everyone is familiar with these little critters that were so ubiquitous in my childhood.
I had to look at this picture a few seconds before I realized what it was. A little slow on this sunny but cool spring morning. 😉
🙂 I’m not too sharp in the early morning, either. 😉
😉
Those elliptical dark areas are so distinctive that one would recognize them even without also seeing the insect that cast the shadows.
Yes, once familiar, they are distinctive. They always reminds me of languid summer days as a child playing in the stream.
Very cool, unique capture, Eliza! ❤
Thank you, Donna!
Unique photo
Thank you!
Insects are perfect for providing a different perspective 🙂 Nice shot!
Thank you, Adele!
Fascinating!
Thanks!
awesome pic. love the shadows they make. reminds me of being a kid and chasing them. you should do a night shoot of the river spiders.
