Water Strider and Shadow

Water Striders are always interesting to watch, but one of the first things I noticed is how the sun plays with their shadows. The surface tension on the water creates a shadow larger than the creature, but also reflects down to the bottom of the stream making interesting rings of light around the shadow.
