I'm curious to see whether it's obvious what this is because it was an unexpected result to me.

It looks like the surface of the water, but really unusual. Great capture, Debra.

  Cool shot, Debra, I like the abstraction!! I'm with Paul, looks like water to me. But what's the reflection?

  You're right, Paul, Larry, and Linda! It is just water from a pond! In the LCD viewer it looked like this was going to be the *perfect* (LOL!) on-Golden-Pond shot, so I was really surprised to see two geese (in the full original) floating on camouflage! I think the pattern was caused by the reflection of the windows from a tall office building next to the pond. I didn't know if this was a common problem everybody else knew to look out for because I sure didn't!
Thanks for taking the time to comment!!

  This is a real keeper, Debra! In the thumbnail it looked pretty ordinary, but WOW, the blow up is awsome. I've never seen something quite like this happen. I've definately been fooled by the LCD screen, but for me, when I see it on the big screen I head right for the delete button :-)
