Today I’m participating in the WordPress weekly photo challenge and this week’s theme is “reflections”. Photographing them can be quite a challenge, since a little movement by fish or birds swimming in the water, or even a slight breeze, can affect the results. Here are a few of my favorite reflections in the water I got the chance to photograph in the past few months.
In this first photo, the water was very still, so these two white ducks reflecting on it look great.
In this next picture, you can see a little breeze can distort the reflection of the tall trunks of palm trees in the water. The swimming path of the mallard duck creates even more ripples in the water.
I had a hard time photographing this mallard duck couple, but I really like how the trees and plants reflect into the rippled water in the foreground
I love the way the blue sky reflects into this pond water with its smooth ripples. It looks like the water is made out of liquid metal, like mercury.
Water ripples can make the reflection of a fancy white great egret look a little silly, don’t you think?
This last picture is one of my favorite photos – I love the white circles all over the water behind the white great egret. The gray lines are the reflection of a bridge’s fence that goes above the pond.
