I took this photo recently whilst in Queensland Brisbane in a small forest called Bunyaville Forest,
I Actually took it upside down as this prevented shadows from me but I knew as I took the photo it would look best turning it 180 deg.


Post Processing.
I use Photoshop Camera Raw and adjusted the white balance from the series of shots using the Spyder Cube from data color (Spyder Cube was included in one of the shots I took in the vicinity)
I then used Nik Software in Photoshop and to adjust contrast and brightness along with Structure (Structure is similar to Clarity in Camera Raw)
To bring out the colours I also added the Tonal contrast Filter from Nik software. No other effects where used.


In showing this photo to friends most don't seem to realise that its a reflection until I point it out and I find I keep looking at it there seems to be something about the Photo that keeps drawing my eyes to it.


Hope you like it.

I do - without your explanation I would sit and wonder what the hell am I looking at :P - a very nice creative shot - I like how the reflection is so vibrant and those vivid colours making it for me a lot - also this otherwise common ( to not say: boring ? ) shot has become so appealing thanks to the ripples on the water. A nomination from me !
