    This is a wonderful transition from sky to water reflection. I especially love the water droplets giving us hint of where the water begins and sky ends. Definitely this is a special capture!

    This will make .68 cents worth. that’s a lot of comments.
    What do I like about this photo?
    Perfect Silhouette type reflection with just a bit of color..
    Reflection of clouds.
    Colors.
    Sharpness.
    Little circles of water drops on the surface of the still pool of water.

    Magnificent.

    Thanks for the visit,
