This is a reflection off of a goldfish pond. There was the slighest breeze creating a watercolor effect. I enjoy the challenge of capturing a perfect reflection. The colors are richer than the image that of which is on the original object. The crispness is dependent upon how still the air is, but I prefer a ripple in the water.

    Wow! My first instinct as the picture was loading was that you had applied filters to it in photoshop to give it that rippled effect! Nice shot!

    That shot looks great even with ripples, but imagine what it would look like on a still day? Very Nice Shot :D ........ Skippy (Australia)

    Great shot! Nice bold colors. It would look really good if the water was smooth, but the ripples give it an interesting effect.

    very nice
    thats very nice-more please

    i am slightly obsessed with reflections and hopefully my exhibition of same starts next week

    great shot and the processing really brought up the colours nicely.

    once you start looking for reflections you start to see some amazing things that most people don't notice.
