At first glance were you able to tell that this is a reflection? Look again. With the exception of some tiny things floating on the water this is all a reflection. It looks like I even captured the reflections of some shadows on the leaves if that's possible. :)I turned this photo upright for better viewing.

You really have to look very closely to realize that this is a reflection. It's a wonderful image and I do see shadows.
ReplyDeleteHope your weekend is delightful.

Beautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteLove the canna lily.
Have a wonderful weekend James.
It's just wonderful what water can do.
ReplyDeleteThe flowers are lovely.
Such an amazing image!
ReplyDeleteYou did it - you tricked me!!!
ReplyDeleteI really had to look twice at this one!
What a wonderful clear and stunning reflection!!!
Very tricky. I didn't notice the reflection until you pointed out the tiny ripples. Fun.
ReplyDeleteThis is so perfect I had to read the post to be sure it was a reflection! :-) Fantastic!
ReplyDeleteBy the way this is my favourite canna species (Bengal tiger), I keep it in a big pot.
Wow, that took a minute to realize. Very cool.
ReplyDeleteLovely shot James. You get hints of the reflecting character from the bottom of the image. You can barely detect the water surface but it's there. This reflection is so rich and saturated with color.
ReplyDeleteTerrific capture, James! I had to look twice to see the water! Incredible! And so colorful! Thanks, as always, for the weekly fun! Enjoy your weekend!

Thats a stunner of a reflection James this week - and the colour of the flowers is still strong in the reflection.
ReplyDeleteJames I placed the wrong link in Mr Linky - could you delete my first link as it takes folk to a macro post rather than a reflection post.
Many thanks

You have such clear water for your reflections! No hint of the bottom of the pond.
ReplyDeleteThat is such a clear reflection with so many details - nice!
ReplyDeleteI didn't think it was a reflection at first until I read your post. It's beautiful James. Those things that are floating look almost like they could be birds in the sky!
ReplyDeleteAt first sight, I thought there were a lot of birds in the sky..:)
ReplyDeleteI can't imagine how pure the water can be to offer such a reflection!! good job!
That is amazing! It looks like the real deal...The colors are so true and not the last washed out from light reflecting off the water surface. Wow, James!
ReplyDeleteIt is such a perfect mirror image I couldn't tell it was a reflection at all.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo, James.
Incredibly neat... It's a real beauty. Thanks for hosting this contest
ReplyDeleteYou got me! My first thought was "hey, where's the reflection" then I studied the image. Good one!
ReplyDeletePS: I just discovered your comment on my blog of benches;Sadly romantic! :)
ReplyDeletePretty darn amazing reflection. You'd think the surface was a mirror and not just water. Great!
ReplyDeleteIt is wonderful James!
ReplyDeletePerfect summer shot James! Super!
ReplyDeleteThat is REALLY hard to tell it is a reflection! Those colors are so bright! What an amazing reflection!
ReplyDeleteAwesome photo, James. I couldn't tell it was a reflection at first! Thanks for stopping by. It feels good to be back blogging on a more regular basis. :)
ReplyDeleteHave a great weekend!!
Beautiful reflections - you rarely see such detail and strong colours.
ReplyDeleteYou are absolutely amazing! Had you not said anything about the tiny water spots, I would have considered this photo a mental reflections photo! Beautiful reflections!
ReplyDeleteThat is one stupendous reflection, James. Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI wish more writers were like you photographers. It's not what you see that makes your observations interesting. It's the way you see it.

An amazing reflection! The incredible, finely tuned detail is magical! Very beautiful!
ReplyDeleteThat is absolutely AMAZING. I could hardly believe it was a reflection - it looks like the real thing.
ReplyDeleteha, tricky! Wonderful and clear reflection.
ReplyDeleteSo clever and interesting:) Great sharp photo!
ReplyDeleteI've never seen such a clear reflection James! I know you stay true to your theme but I actually sped on to reading just actually what the image was reflected upon. I thought you might have carried a mirror out into the field. Beautiful and fresh.
ReplyDeleteOutstanding, James.
ReplyDeleteWonderful, so clear! Summer in the air...
ReplyDeleteI think it's just the wind blowing some debris through the air, and you mixed this up with another photo ?! Clearest reflection I ever saw... nice job sir...
ReplyDeleteThat's awesome- I had to look really closely to see that it's a reflection. Amazing shot! I would have liked to see it bottom side up.
ReplyDeleteWow!
ReplyDeleteThe reflection and colors are so amazingly clear!
ReplyDeleteWithout your explanation, I doubt I would have figured out it was a reflection. Except, of course, that it's on Weekend Reflections, so it would have to be. Right?
ReplyDeleteI don't think I would have noticed this was a reflection if you hadn't told me but there is something very different about this photo. It definitely has a very fluid feel to it.
ReplyDelete& It is quite beautiful!
It took a moment to realize it was all a reflection, the water is so clear. Beautiful!
ReplyDeleteMolto bella l'immagine ripresa in questo modo.
ReplyDeleteMi piace questi fiori così rossi.
Buona giornata a tutti i bloggers.
Having that clear reflection turned gives us a unique perspective of those flowers. We have those flowers here - I have no idea what they are called - but I've not been able to capture them in any interesting way, they're a bit of a messy flower, I think. But now you've done it. Super.
ReplyDeleteI couldn't tell this was a reflection until I read your post! It's amazing how you caught all those vibrant colors in a reflection :D
ReplyDeleteDidn't think what I posted today qualified as a reflection, but I miss you guys!!!!
ReplyDeleteIt is in the creativity that makes this posting significant to the theme of the meme. Yes, I can follow the lead very clear. Brilliant!
ReplyDeleteFantastic! The water must be incredibly still to get such a clear reflection. Really love this
ReplyDeleteYour photo is so deceiving! The reflection looks like an original. You really have a great eye and creativity.
ReplyDeleteJust a few ripples to let the view know, it's a reflection, Wonderfuly clean and sharp.
ReplyDeleteI had to look at this one for awhile to figure it out but once I did - marvelous!
ReplyDeleteI could have sworn the reflection was the background.
Terrific shot James!
This may be my favorite reflection of all time. My first hint was the "bugs" flying around the plants. I also love the ripples around the leaves (hard to see). It's not the clarity only but the colors that put this one so high on my list. Just gorgeous!
ReplyDeleteIt is very deceptive and I wouldn't have noticed if you
ReplyDeletehadn't pointed it out! I mean, it is very deceptive!!
You are right, I was looking for the reflection. Nice canna flowers. Flowers of my youth, my grand dad had them in Borneo, and now I have a small clump in New Zealand.
ReplyDeleteIf you had not pointed it out I probably would not have noticed. Excellent photo!
ReplyDeleteBeautiful! First time here...
ReplyDeleteNo Way!!! I am speechless!
ReplyDeleteOh, my--this is truly exquisite--such a tranquil beautiful photo. It quite fills my eyes...
ReplyDeletefirst time here...
ReplyDeleteIncroyable et superbe photo ! J'ai eu du mal à voir que c'était un reflet ! Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI had no idea this was a reflection, until I read the commentary! Well done.
ReplyDeleteThanks for this idea and your comment. I like the blue sky of your picture (It's raining in Brittany, today) and this perfect reflection.
ReplyDeleteI posted a really nice reflection for Saturday and just realized I forgot to link you to it. Nuts. I plead sleep deprived. We had a busy week.
ReplyDeleteThe reflection lets me astonish.
ReplyDeleteReality. Or illusion...
I cannot tell the difference between them.
