Sunset in a Puddle

This image is part of an ongoing project I'm working on called "Puddle Reflections". This particular puddle is about two feet across, an inch deep and is located at the end of my driveway here in Virginia. Methodology is simple. Put the camera on the ground as close to the water as possible and click off a series of bracketed shots. Having done this a number of times I now instinctively look for a puddle at sunset wherever I am. :) When people see this print they always ask what river or lake this was taken at. Then I tell them it's a puddle which produces a shocked look.

These clouds are the tail end of a nasty storm that raged through the area causing a significant amount of damage.

What look like boulders along the shoreline are actually pieces of gravel.
