Well this fits the challenge as far as "reflective surface" goes, but I think the image quality is suffering. A polarizing filter would eliminate the strong white on the water, but since that is itself a reflection, maybe that's what you're going for! The parts around the green covered rocks seem a little oversharpened. The positive for me is that it meets the challenge and it's a pretty good composition. I like the way the shoreline curve echoes the curve from the foreground sand.

Thanks to BeeCee...Yes, strangely moving, and processing evocative. (I find the banding in the sky fascinating, and here it makes a definite contribution to the composition as well as to the message, just as the numbers have their own resonance).
Glad you're here, whiterook.

My post from the "Posthumous Ribbon of the Week" thread;

Folks complained about the processing but I think it's perfect for the sentiments expressed in the title.

The perspective, from a distance... the feeling of now looking in as an outsider where one once belonged...

The lack of contrast, the grain, the posterising... the distortion of childhood memories and dreams brought by those memories...

I really can't express it, but this shot strangely moved me.

Reflection is such a minimal part of this composition in my opinion.

The photo is not sharp and there is too much negative space

Hey...is that the United Methodist Church in the background in Chatham? I remember it every time I drive by. That would be a great one to submit for a challenge!
