I got a few shots that falls nicely into something which can be called "reflections"...

I have the "straight" counterparts, too, but for some reason these create a better mood..

They are just "moody" and a bit "paradoxal" - I like the way the grass covers the sky on the first one, and how the water plants float towards the Half Dome:-)

And the angled strokes on #3 almost looks like photoshoped texture - while they're not:-)

Thanks for watching!:thumb

Those are some really creative and beautiful images, Nik...I love your reflections! Good for you (and your point & shoot camera, too!!! :D)! Your photos remind me a lot of French Impressionist paintings. Very, very lovely~

They are impressionistic, I agree! Afterall, I made them while being under the impression of the beautiful originals:-)

They do, don't they:-)
I think reflection acts as a polarized filter, and as such enchances the colors naturally.
Also it acts as a fine "artistic" filter.
Hence the amout of PS work was pretty minimal :-)

Marc (and you) said it - it's the hardest part to shoot the place you know:-)
Too much for granite:-)
