[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Refraction: The bending of light as it passes from one medium into another; the amount of bending depends on the speeds of light in the two media.

This leaf was floating on a small pool of water that had collected on the ground of a local Natural Gas well. I like the sunlight bordering the shadow under water. The name of the Gas well is "Silver Wings".

Very cool image Stephen. The light and the colors make this an excellent photo. Awesome values.

Très jolie photo ! Belles couleurs, netteté impécable ; La transparence et le jeu de lumière sont très réussis. Bravo

Superb this leaf with its shadow and then in water which gives it a wonderful shape.
The light is very good, too !

Stephen this is very good I like the liquid shadows you captured in this shot, well done!

This is an amazing shot. The focus, clarity and sharpness is excellent. The sparkle from the sunlight on the edges of the shadow is just perfect. Just one leaf, floating on the water's surface tension ... delightful.

Very nicely done Stephen, the colors are warm and natural and the reflection is soothing.

Wonderful work! The photo is so sharp that we fell like we could almost touch the leaf! If it wasn't for the shadow we couldn't "see" the water. Well done.

Nice shot, I like the outline in light good eye for capturing this one.

Très beaux détails de cette feuille qui flotte! Superbe tonalité et textures fort intéressantes!

What a wonderful shot! Excellently noticed and captured. I love the soft warm colours the photo has, too. Very well done!

Nice shot. I really like the glow around the shadow of the leaf; well captured. Your composition looks okay, but, I think if you had zoomed in more, it would've made for a better pic. You would've filled the image area more with the subject, and you wouldn't have to worry about losing a sense of space since its obvious we're looking at a leaf on water. Still good shot. And good eye. Thanks for sharing.
