'Sparklies' in the lake

Chosen Pick of the Month! Judges' comments: "It has an abstract, painterly quality that pulls the viewer into the photo." "It has a unique and very interesting perspective. We don't see that type of shot often, and it gives me a feeling, a sense that spring is on its way." The photographer writes: "I took this photo from the parking lot at Memorial Field. It was a beautiful sunny morning, although a bit chilly. Using a 500mm lens and a small f-stop brought out the "sparklies" in the lake." Taken Feb. 27.
