During one of my walks along my local river, I was so taken by the sunlight filtering through the trees and reflecting off the cool water. I felt like I was peering into some magical, watery fairy realm. The light lit up the bottom of the riverbed and bought out the beautiful earthen colours which would have otherwise lay hidden there in the dark. I flipped the original image over so the reflection ended the right way up, and did not have to do much else with it in editing. I am always on the look out for the unusual as well as beauty and wonder, and I am always in awe of what nature bestows to us.

It’s always neat to see what the sun reveals in these usually hidden spots, a small world revealed for just a short window of time. Very nice!

The light looks like a translucent curtain, rippling and flowing between us and the scene. It’s quite an interesting image, Pete. I like it.

Wow what a lovely image. Light, shadow and reflections are always so interesting. This is very dreamy in an almost abstract kind of way.
