IMHO,
If you notice, the water is very still where the shadow of the person is and there is a nice shadow reflection in the water. Where the tree is the water is stirred up. There is a shadow there but it is not clearly reflected because of the movement of water. Or the grey patch for some reason doesn't show a shadow for either and the tree's shadow falls only on the grey patch.
This is a great shot, Justin.

I agree with beetle. No rule says that answers are required either.
Just beware, "What goes around comes around".

I don't see how this photo could be real. I have looked at it so many times, but I still can't make sense of it.
There are two fundamental problems I have with it:
The person's shadow on the right has a reflection in the water, yet the tree's shadow on the left does NOT.
Even more impossible is this: 100% of the shadow is firmly visible against reddish embankment, yet the shadow's reflection shows head and shoulders against blue sky!!!
I tried once before to get an explanation for this, but never got an answer :-( Guess I'll have to keep wondering about it. |

| Wow, I really loved your photo. I do have a question - I am new to DP and I see many photographers using Photoshop. Did you use PS for your Afternoon Reflections photo? |

| It reminds me of a cave painting somehow, maybe it's the colors. Congrats on the well-deserved ribbon! |

I came to look because of the colors- such bountiful oranges and greens. I stayed, because the photograph itself is full of magical appearances, things that seem to be one thing, but are another. The dark person casting a reflection in the water, who is his- or herself only a shadow. The dark tree with its beige leaves- actually a tree's shadow surrounded by a chalkier soil. A very beautiful, rich photograph. Thank you!
And congratulations on the justly deserved blue ribbon. |

A demonstration of good "seeing"and knowing what will make a good image.
I wonder how many times we have all been in a similar position and never seen the shot.
Congratulations..great work as usual. |

| is that a reflection of a shadow or did you burn that? I don't care, because the colors and abstract quality make this one rise.... |

| At first I thought this looked like it could it be the cover of an album, but it should be somewhere much more prevalent, since it takes forever to figure out. I think I'm starting to get the gist of it, but it's a fantastically complex shot. |
