I like the reflecting clouds, but the hint of what is in the water leads me to want to see more of the depths.....very peaceful....

Looks like a moody but quiet morning there at the lake. Very nicely done.

I love the way you have been able to capture the lake bottom as well - I presume you used a really small aperture for the shot?

@dobbino: Ooops. I am always happy to provide EXIF data for all who ask but I am traveling this week and don't have access to the file. I did use a tripod and my memory (be careful) is that I was shooting at between f/11 and f/14 at around 1/6th of a second. I can't wait to get back and check now...

Like the place you give to the water and its transparency on the foreground.

The diffused light from clouds can also have its attractions... here I see a very fine reflection, it's a good shot.
