Description
This is a small lake in Custer State Park - the name escapes me at the moment... But this has to be the best water reflection I've ever photographed in my life! I just couldn't believe how still and mirror-like the surface was.
Oddly, within 15 minutes, the surface began to change, and have all the ripples and surface disturbances one usually sees on a body of water. For once, my timing was perfect!
Thanks for dropping by! One more shot to come...

Beautifully captured...
wow your timeing was just right. wonderful shot
Outstanding timing! This is gorgeous. You look like you're having a fabulous time! :) Give Jo our regards, will you? We've been missing you both lately!
Patience is said to be a virtue of good photography but I often find that good old dumb luck is a significant driving force. Plus the smarts to be able to quickly realize you need to be shooting right now and not saying, oh I will get it later.
fine shot indeed.
Beautiful!
One great capture...Take the shot now as brewgirca said....
