AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes

AUSTRALIA ~ The Antipodes
I love a sunburnt country / A land of sweeping plains / Of ragged mountain ranges / Of droughts and flooding rains / I love her far horizons / I love her jewel-sea / Her beauty and her terror / The wide brown land for me / ~ Dorothea Mackellar (1885-1968)

Mirrored Waters


Pic by Gemma Wiseman ~ A still, reflective moment by the shores of Hastings, Westernport Bay, Mornington Peninsula.
The mirrored reflection from underneath the bird seems as real as another bird!

Very content birds creating a nice reflection and not even knowing it.

Nice shot Gemma. You could play by cropping out the top bird. The shot is good the way it stands by play can be revealing.

Thanks for stopping by and commenting. Glad you like the first photo. I picked a good time on a great day and the lighting gave me dramatic contrasts, just the thing for good B&W -- especially after the three previous rolls were all shot under flat, overcast conditions.

I love your bird reflection "from underneath". If you turn the pic round it's "from above". Well done!
