CommentNot a mirror image reflection by any stretch of the imagination but I liked the refracted effect caused by the ripples in the water. It was late afternoon and the gold and yellow reeds along the water's edge were also reflecting and created a pleasing scene to my eye. This male bird was in a pair patrolling the lagoon in the Mike O'Keeffe Memorial Wetland, Armidale. I took several images in this session, this being one of my two favorites.
