Pond Reflections
Reflections are one of my favorite subjects, but I like to combine foreground detail with reflected background. The trick is to find a pool of water that is in the shade with a background that is fully lit. This creates a mirror effect that is both beautiful and multi-layered. The heron was a bonus as it landed while I was bracketing exposures. Luck favors the prepared!
