I don't really see any shade here (that's dappled). I see dappled sunlight in the rerflection of the water, though.

Love the shot but the glare from the water seems to be a bit overpowering.

I was not really sure of the meaning of "dappled".
I understand it is supposed to be something like a cheetah, spots of light and shade, right?
If you consider it oof, it's ok with me. I was not sure so I tried to select a somehow different shot.

well, there is some 'dappled shade' in the shot, not much, but enough to qualifiy the shot for the contest

One question: do you know if can one change the shot few hours after having submitted it?

Why not.... just edit entry and resubmit

now I hope the shot is dappled enough...

nice shot, well done.

neat

nice entry! GL

Beautiful....GL

Thank you everybody!
