Judy, the background is what makes this shot special for me...I love the play of shadows and reflections over the dark blue of the water. It reminds me of when, as a child, I'd squeeze out drops of water color paint into water to watch the shapes they'd form. Very cool.
Thanks Denise and John! Yes the colors and shadows on the water definitely make the image. I forgot to add that I brushed on a little vignette on the left so it would better match the right.
I really like this, Judy. The colors are lovely, but not overwhelming. The simplicity of the composition and the reflection of surrounding vegetation are very nice.
