Credit Where It is Due
I like to make photographs, and I enjoy being praised for what I have done. But God teaches a different attitude, one of thankfulness and humility. He pointed that out to me recently. I DO NOT MAKE THESE PHOTOGRAPHS ALONE. I didn't create the light, or the technology which makes photography possible. I didn't buy my camera, it was a gift from my husband. I didn't give myself the ability to see through the camera in order to make an image which others find pleasing. It is right to use what I have been given to the best of my ability, but it is wrong to take credit for what I have not done. God made the light, the elements which are used to manufacture the camera, and the world from which these images come. He has given me gifts: people to teach me, eyes to see with, and a brain to process information. I am thankful for these gifts. He deserves all the praise, not I.

This is a great reflection, very clear.
The crystal clear lake is a wonderful mirrored canvas for this beauty. The Gem State is stunning, the trees and hills best viewed by looking up...or down, too!
The framing of your photo is awesome - it's like an optical illusion. Happy weekend to you, too.
Fabulous composition! Love the way you've framed it! Incredible reflection! What can I say? It's gorgeous! Thank you for participating in Sky Watch! Have a wonderful weekend, Dimple!

Wow! That is a knockout. Easier to work out when looking at the enlarged version. Great stuff, Dimple. Nature at its most engrossing.
Cracking composition!... It takes a special eye to see such scenes!....:)
Thanks for sharing and your visit...:)
Whoa! Pull up the horses! THAT is one stunning photograph! I'm looking at clouds in an absolutely still stretch of water--a brand new view of the world! and so crystal clear!
Every morning, before the fountain goes on, I can look down from my balcony onto the still pond below. It always reflects a perfect picture of our condominium neighborhood. I always say I should take a picture but I don't find the buildings all that awesome...
Lovely composition and well captured.
The clouds almost look like the snowy peaks of mountains in the water! Beautiful!
Really nice shot. Perfect for Sky Watch!
Wonderful! The reflection is so clear!
Simply beautiful!
This photo fills my eyes. This is the greatest compliment I can give. I am in awe.
I love mirrored skies, even though I have the tendency to turn my head very much sidewards (giggle) - this one is very beautiful!
This one is way cool Dimple. I like it a lot.
Very bright and beautiful reflections!
