 This shot was taken early in the morning on a mostly cloudy day. I had actually climbed down from the bridge to get some pictures of geese landing in the water. I had taken several shots at a distance with a 70-200 lens and realized that none of the shots would be very good due to the low light conditions, distance, and the speed of the geese. As I turned to leave I was struck by the beauty of the almost fluorescent color of marsh grass and the reflection in the water. The image was cropped, levels were slightly adjusted and sharpened.

I am getting jealous of all these wonderful reflection nature shots with awsome tones. I bet this one finishes pretty well.
