That kind of shot is fascinating, isn't it? I got a very similar image just over a fortnight ago:

Ripple Effect - 1

Was your shot from a pond or lake with a gentle breeze? Mine wasn't ripples from something thrown into the water but just natural surface turbulence. I see you also had a similar shutter speed (1/60s / 1/50s), which is probably a good starting point for anyone else wanting to try it.
