On the mirror of the world, a photo from Potosi, South

Photographer's Note

The Uyuni salar in south Bolivia is really, in the rainy season, the mirror of the Earth. The secret? The thin water film (1 inch) on true flat white (salt) surface.

Good one Yves !
It's not always that I like 1/2 divide pics, but this one impresses by the colors, the sharpness and the effect of the car "on the water"
Congratulations!

Hi Yves
Great shot! I really like the effect of the car driving on water, the reflection is beautifully captured and the POV works really well. Thanks for sharing.
Regards, Sarah

Fantastic shot! Composition, colours and reflections are superb. I've never seen a salar in the rain season. This car adds a dynamism to the picture.
Thanks for share.

Hello Yves
cela me rappelle quelque chose (la 4e dimension), en regardant la miniature, mon premier reflexe ce fut "declenché trop tôt, il manque une trainée d'eau derriere la voiture". Mais à la reflexion, plus tard et la voiture était en regard d la montagne et la composition deséquilibrée. Belle composition
je me permets un petit atelier pour le plaisir.
Amicalement, hugues

Damn, this is cool. The position of the car in the frame is just perfect. The reflection itself makes the image, but I think you know that. One nitpick, though: might want to fix the tilt as it makes me a little seasick looking at this image. Anyway, well done.

This photo is incredible! The reflection of water is perfect, the presence of the car gives the right dimension.

Superbe composition ! Et que dire de l'effet d'explosion de lumière à l'arrière du jeep qui donne comme une impression de propulsion soudaine...
Mais ce voyage fabuleux semble s'achèver, car la terre ferme approche (elle paraît un peu terne à côté de ce monde lumineux, aérien). Bravo !
