 I saw this reflection and it was "love at first sight"...I wanted to make that my title but I tweaked it to be more fitting for the photo! :) What a gorgeous morning this was!!! :) I got the opportunity to shoot at a horse show and there were all sorts of water obstacles in the cross country competition. This was my favorite from the 500 that I took. :)

Wow, this one is awesome. Just about perfect composition, the reflection of the sun behind the person's head makes it. I like this one best out of your stuff that I've seen, for sure.
