Very pretty. The black and white processing really makes this pop.

Against all experiential and scientific dogma, it does seem that reflections sometimes do break away from what they purport to reflect. Rebirth, do-si-do, change partners. This image is a compelling example of just such a casual shift. How I love how the water grasses flourish beneath the tree. And the jittery staircase, lower right. What fun! Mostly I adore how whatever's floating on the surface seems like static on an old black and white tv set. Rod Serling approves. Here we go, screw the commercials. "It's been a wonderful visit, now beam me up. I'm not kidding, beam me up....."
Thank you.

That is really up close and personal. Fabulous detail. Almost perfect IMO, just needs a tad more DOF to get the little hairs on top of his head in focus.
