Puddle Jumper

Great shot. Just love it!

Good job!

Thanks guys! I was doing some portfolio shots for a model and we had intermittent rain that morning. As I was shooting I happened to see a plane fly overhead and it perfectly reflected in the puddle on the cement. It was gone in an instant and I didn't have time to catch it, but I decided to come back later and make this picture. Easier said than done...there were very few planes departing from the nearby airport due to the virus situation, and when they did depart I had only seconds to figure out where they would be in the frame, the right angle to the water, and whether the sun would be covered by clouds, which did not look good. It was a lot of trial and error. I worked on it for over two hours until all the elements finally came together.
