User_2000406 0 Posted February 3, 2013 I disagree with Zaki and Don. The sun is not shining. There are bright areas in the sky near the horizon but they do not cast well-defined shadows due to the light source being *very* diffuse. Reflections are visible in the stream in areas where floating vegetation does not block them, and these reflections include portions of the sky and of the two trees. The locations of the reflections of the trees are determined by perspective, not by light in the sky, and thus are located directly below the trees rather than off at an angle as might be the case if they were shadows. These reflections are arbitrarily bounded and limited by floating vegetation and dry land. There is enough brightness in the sky for leaves sticking up above the water in the stream to shine brightly with specular reflections but this is *not* due to direct sunlight falling on the leaves. The arbitrary limits to the reflections created by the floating vegetation may create an impression of a disconnect between the distance and the foreground but this is a false impression caused by not understanding what light is doing in the scene being photographed. Whatever adjustments may have been made in post, the photographer appears to have captured natural light patterns and to have done so in a very appealing composition. Link to comment
