 The mosquitoes were swarming around me - their dinner time. And a rat ran between the tripod legs.

Never occurred to me how much I take this view for granted. Not until reading the other comments did I realize that without context these lit houses with water for front yards might not make visual sense to others unfamiliar with the area. Very nice capture of those lights and the water reflections. Sorry about the rat. :)

Great job on getting the reflections right, and catching the late light in the sky and on the lake.

Outside of Philly? Nice capture that seems to have perfect outdoor lighting.

I like it! The contrast between the static lights on the houses and the movement of those lights in the reflection is really bizarre and effective.

Great picture, and good reflection in the water. The tiny sky at the top of the left house is a little distracting

Hard to tell if that's water or ice. Neat reflections! Looks like garages, but there's no street. Is it a flooded street? Could be sandbags on the edge there. Hmmm. Guess I won't know until the challenge is over. :) Good luck.

Great capture. The lights outlining lining the buildings and reflected in the water is nice.

Novel. Color monochrome?
