Challenge: Refraction of Light (Basic Editing III)
Camera: Nikon D50

Location: Garden

 I apologize to all those that had to vote on this. All those that marked me down for 'DMC/DNMC' were right.

I made a mistake and my 'science teacher' was unavailable to help.

This may possibly have aspects of refraction in it, but they are minor. This is mostly just a reflection, though likely borders on an 'internal reflection', just like my out-take:


For those interested in hours of reading on the science and physics of refractions and reflections, here are some links:

Wikipedia on Refraction

Wikipedia on Reflection

Ripple Tank which shows a range of physics phenomena: "It demonstrates waves in two dimensions, including such wave phenomena as interference, diffraction (single slit, double slit, etc.), refraction, resonance, phased arrays, and the Doppler effect".

This strikes me more as reflection rather than refraction.

I see reflection, but not refraction.

I think this is reflection rather than refraction

It seems to be reflection not refraction! There is a huge difference at physics and words.
