[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
A reflection in a rain puddle, along the esplanade of the Angara River at left, which runs through the city of Irkutsk. I liked the colorful Russian styled church reflected in the water.

"Notre Dame de l'Epiphanie", in the bg, is an Orthodox church built in 1716, & since renovated several times.

Hi Chris,
The curved fence and the puddle; the river the couple is peering at over the fence can't be as beautiful as what you've captured behind them, and they are oblivious to it.
Well seen!
Karen

After the rain i presume... Let me guess... Strong sunlight... With under the water a dark road... Enough to have a real mirror... No wind to distord!
I even prefer the details of the sky into the reflection... The darker mask of it give punch to the clouds!

Hi Chris,
Excellent composition with the perfect lead-in and super reflections.

as per western reading patterns

Super ,good shot . Merveilleux cette image avec cette réflexion dans l'eau bine fait , Les gens donnent de la vie à l'image.
Good colors ,refexion is super and clean , Réal

Love the perspective, the reflection, and the beautifully saturated colours with this touch of pink! The young people leaning against the bridge add romance to the image. Thank you, great work!

Hi my friend,

An amazing reflection. Is that for real or you manage to replicate the sharpness of the couple in the reflections using PP work. Whatever the technique, this is an amazing photograph with amazing composition.
