A vernal pool - one of my first shots of one - reflects the forest almost perfectly. I remember holding still and my breath on the banks and doing my best not to be devoured by mosquitoes. It was worth it and one of my favorite vernal pool images. I’ve since shot them more and even did a seasonal study of one across the street before my neighbors built their house near it.
Specific Feedback Requested:
Obviously this is flipped. Originally I posted it online in its actual orientation, but this is sort of interesting. Too manipulative?
Pertinent technical details or techniques:
Is this a composite? No
Tripod w/CPL
Processed in Lr for exposure, white balance, etc. And the flip.

Incredible sharp reflection, if you had left out the clue in the LLC it would have been impossible to figure it out without the tag. Great image with wonderful green colors and tree trunk structure.
