Lighthouse and leaf share different sides of this puddle.

The leaf is real and the lighthouse is a fantasy of the reflections world.

But I guess that next time I find a puddle in this place - the leaf will be gone and the fantasy lighthouse will still be there.

Hey Daniel,

this is actually a cool experiment you did here. Very dreamy, it looks so unreal, distoprted in the reflection on the water. Looks like a fantasy montage acvtually. Really cool.

Happy New Year Daniel.

hi daniel,
i'd add to what rafal has already said that the intensive colours make this look really dreamy...
all the best for 2007, j.

Hi Daniel,
a great one... love that blue... the feeling to be in the sky ; )
and happy new year...
Regards
Fred

Bonjour Daniel
une compo très graphique et très bien équilibrée au niveau des couleurs et au niveau du cadrage. Le résultat est superbe. Bravo,
Meilleurs voeux pour cette nouvelle année

I'm a big sucker for a good reflection shot, and this is one of the best that I've seen for quite some time.
First of all, the composition is excellent; having the lighthouse and leaf in opposite corners of the frame gives the image good balance, and the tilt gives it a pleasing dynamism.
There's just enough distortion in the water to inject just the right amount of surrealism.
Happy New Year.

Cheers,
Ben

Intense and nice clors!

Beautiful wonderful reflection, a good start for this new year, compliments, excellent colours and clever composition, well done Daniel.
Have a happy new year.
Ciao

Hello Daniel,
Cette prise de vue est simplement incroyable…
J’adore ce genre d’image prise dans l’eau, les reflets y sont souvent merveilleux !
Ici, viennent d’ajouter des couleurs très vivantes
C’est simple, j’adore
Merci pour le partage
Amicalement
Sébastien
Bonne année 2007 !

The reflection is very nice, it works the magic here.

Hi Daniel,
great reflection, excellent cut and light.
Regards, Gerrit

Hi Daniel. I was wondering why it looked strange at the borders when I saw the explanation in your note. Fantastic reflection with beautiful intense colors. The inclusion of the feather makes it very artistic, almost surreal. Thanks for your comments on my shot and happy New Year. Yvonne

Hi Daniel,

Really fantastic picture looks rather like an " Installation "of modern art.


All the best - Izzet

Outstanding composition. You get better and better.

Hi Daniel,

A very nice photo using the reflection in the puddle to create a special effect. the photo has a good composition, perspective and nice colors. Thans for sharing.

Wow Daniel. This is quite an interesting image here. The colors are supurb, and the landscape captured in the water quite interesting. Do you have a "real" shot of the lighthouse; I'd be interesting to see what it looks like.

Hi Daniel
This is a lovely experiment...I like the distortions especially of known elements & the distortion also looks likes an etching. The leaf in the corner is a welcome addition. Well seen & well taken. Love this

What a nice catch Daniel, like all the Iaffo is in that water puddle. The leaf is like a moon inthe sky, a wonderful dreamy composition. Take care, Florin

Very strange and very fanstastic. The sky reflected in the puddle has a beautifull blue and the blurred reflexion of the lighthouse gives as you mention a fantastic atmosphere, as if the surface of te water was a border between to worlds.

All the best,

Emmanuel

wow!
daniel, what a capture!!
nice pov and teh colors are great, a very surrealistic mood created here. nice work.

Hi Daniel, and what a traveler you are !! You visited so many countries, lucky boy :)
I comment this one cause i saw it many times in recent past, just beautiful, excellent style here, great reflexion and what makes the picture different is the leaf on top.
A great picture, like many pictures in your gallery

This is really an outstanding picture, Daniel, first, it is very well seen, I am a fan of puddle reflections, and the composition is first class, the leaf seems to be a moon shining above the lighthouse...

Cheers
Alexander

Great reflection picture. I like the somehow bent composition, the vibrant colors and the very tender (I think) approach here.
Thanks for sharing,
Ioana
