Although this bird is searching for food, I noticed thats he/she appears to be looking at it's own reflection
This summer has been very busy. Work, my daughter getting married, work, my son moving out, work and more work. Today I was finally able to take a break and think about taking some photos. I have been wanting to work on water drop reflections lately. Tonight my wife wanted to go gather some books to donate to our daughters teachers classroom. Right before we were to leave I looked outside and noticed that the last light of evening was perfect. I grabbed my tripod (an adventure in and of itself. I had to locate parts from the relocation of said tripod by my two year old). I put my macro lens on and set out to get the photo set up. These plants are both found in my garden. The cactus is a cold weather cactus and the flower is indian blanketflower. I misted the cactus and then started shooting.
This shot would not have been possible without a tripod and a cable release.
The specs:
Iso 200
105mm
f/40
5 second exposure
I did minimal treatment in Lightroom 3 and then published it.
I like the reflections of the flowers in the water droplets.
I like the contrast of the cactus and water.
I like the detail found on the cactus.
I like how many drops are found.
I would like to not have the thorn reflections over the flowers.

The July 15, 2012 Brighton cruise night in downtown Brighton, Michigan. Brighton is a small city about sixteen miles north of Ann Arbor at the crossing of U.S. 23 and I-96.
This mid-summer cruise-in was graced by a rather sudden storm with fairly heavy rain for fifteen minutes or so. During and after the storm we had some fantastic light and pavement reflections.

A reflection on Park Hill Flats - resplendent in summer sunshine but with windows boarded up ready for renovators to move in early New Year when they will be yuppified.
In de Design Vlaanderen Galerie wordt de tentoonstelling "Reflections" herhaald die tijdens de vorige Milan Design Week in de Triënnale voor de eerste maal werd gepresenteerd. De tentoonstelling was een eerbetoon aan de Belgische ingenieurs Emile Foucault en Emile Gobbe die in 1903 het eerste mechanische systeem voor de productie van glas ontwikkelden, nl. het verticaal trekken van vlakglas. Dit zorgde wereldwijd voor een totale ommekeer in de glasnijverheid en het opende de weg naar de industriële productie van glas na de 1ste Wereldoorlog. Dat België aan de wieg ligt van de industrialisatie van vlakglas en er in België nog verschillende bedrijven zijn die samen met vele ontwerpers spiegels op de markt brengen was de aanleiding voor Reflections.
Maak kennis met niet enkel spiegels van Belgische designers maar ook andere voorwerpen met een spiegelend oppervlak, waarin het licht reflecteert en spiegelbeelden ontstaan. Eén voor één vormen ze hoogtepunten van design. Ontdek primeurs maar evengoed klassiekers van de hand van boeiende ontwerpers en bedrijven.
De ontwerpers: Leo Aerts (Alinea), Marina Bautier, Michaël Bihain, Susanna Campogrande & Lise Casalegno Marro (Allerretour), Xavier De Clippeleir, Alex De Witte, Simon Desmet & Timothy Macken (MaDe), Nathalie Dewez, Jean-François d’Or (Loudordesign studio), Luc Druez (LcD Textile Edition), Nedda El-Asmar & Erik Indekeu, Marie Gobert, Linde Hermans (Rode schoentjes), Bieke & Patrick Hoet, David Huycke, Bart Lens, Xavier Lust, Stefan Schöning, Diane Steverlynck, Ben Storms, Mathias Van De Walle (MVDW Workshop), Ann Van Hoey, Danny Venlet, Jules Wabbes, Sylvain Willenz.
De bedrijven: AGC Glass Europe, Dark, Deknudt Mirrors & Reflect+, Eternum, Fiam Italia, Ligne Roset, Linadura, Objekten, valerie_traan Gallery, Vervloet, Wever & Ducré, Zeri Crafts.

SELF-REFLECTION
On the Rorschach test, when people often comment about the symmetry of the inkblots, it is a sign of their being introspective and self-reflective. For this image, I found it amusing to think about a cow contemplating itself. I choice a square format to convey the idea of an introspectively boxed-in bovine, with the enclosed fence reinforcing the idea of that dilemma. The religious statue in the background, which straddles the symmetry, suggests a solution to the cow's predicament.
Although I created this image by duplicating, flipping horizontally, and reconnecting the photo to itself, you'll notice that not everything on the right side is symmetrical to the left. Perfect symmetry feels very predictably static, while symmetry that is a bit "off" makes the eye wonder and wander.
This shot was taken on the coast of Ireland.

This is the pond on the Meadow and Marshland Trail at Michigan Audubon's Bernard W. Baker Sanctuary. It's a pretty place, as I've mentioned before.
After the walk we headed over to Big Marsh Lake and watched the Sandhill Cranes arrive. (Bet you're not surprised.) Since I'd not brought my long lens I only took a couple pictures--of the scenery, not the birds.
==========
I took this photo with my Nikon N90s and scanned the image from the negative. It was a good autumn, and the roll's scans are quite colorful. But most of the pics have a glossy look that I find annoying. Perhaps some day I'll scan the roll again.
To be fair, this may have been the first roll of film I ever scanned from negatives. It was certainly among the first; I'd just bought a film-capable scanner.
