For Bryan...

Oh Yeah! Thank you! I think this exposure is excellent. I do tend to prefer darker images. Can just barely see the top of the fence - probably wouldn't have even noticed it had I not seen your last post. This is great.

Now, I wonder if somebody here could explain this phenomenom. Why the light appears to bleed into the water...

I can't figure it out - the edge of the water is right where the "stalk" of the mushroom starts, so it's not a reflection IN the water. I've never seen anything like it before. I have quite a few shots of it. It looked just like this in person, so it wasn't that the camera was doing anything strange. I'd be curious to know how this illusion (if that's what it is) takes place. Here's one more shot...

I can't explain the phenomenon, but it's amazing. Hope smeon will come up with the explanation. The shape of the sun, too, is incredible: looks like a heavenly abat-jour.

Hoping someone can explain this weird sight!

Nice. The colors work so well with the darkness.

I think it's just the sun sizzling as it hits the water, Bryan. Nice and interesting shot, Kim.
