Ripple
This was from a photo I took of the pond in my yard during a light rain. It was incredibly challenging attempting to capture the layers of reflection of the sky and trees and the leaves under the surface of the water. I started with the sky gradations, then the large ripple, then added in the reflected trees around the edges and leaves below surface and added more concentric circles and smaller ripples with crisper details around the floating yellow leaf at the bottom almost pointing toward the ripple.
