Reminds me of a painting by Monet. My #2 choice.

Nominated. Brilliant! As a "mirror image" it not only reflects the landscape, but causes us to reflect on how nature can paint. A palette of wind, light, color, and water. I have never viewed it with my own eye and always wondered if the Impressionists had actually seen or exaggerated the effect -- and yet it was captured in this photograph! But could we ever see this with our eyes? It was a moment of movement isolated and captured by the camera which our eyes can't do. In this case, it also becomes a reflection on photography as a medium. The verticals of the tree trunks at top create a wonderful rhythm against the more organic dappled shapes below -- like Debussy's music compositions. The colors reflect the moment of transition between summer and fall -- the trees at the top are primarily green while the leaves at the bottom are "brushstrokes" of oranges and yellows sparkling against the mix of blue sky and water with clouds, but perhaps fish since the title mentions spring. A "looking glass" to enter another dimension or dream. What makes this image especially exciting is that it looks like a manipulated photograph yet isn't -- perfect for April Fool's Day (even for the day after).
