That's a big change in the water from the before to the after, you're doing something right.  It's beautiful.

Barb it was already here when we moved in (1st picture) just a hole in the ground I grew it from there. Only bad thing is that it is not lined, lots of maintenance... :(

Mine is much on the same scale, 4-6 feet deep (depending on where you are could be 2-3 feet) ,large, to large for a liner at least, unless you want to lay out some big bucks. Clay bottom pond. It used to keep water on it's own now I have to let it refill if the water level gets to low.
    Didn't really plan it out just got tired of looking at a hole in the ground with stagnant water in it. I wanted it to look better so I started planting and experimenting. Still have a ways to go if you ask me.  ::)
