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. #233583

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

member since: 3/13/2004 I signed on this morning and yours was the first one! All I can guess is some kind of oil and water. Looks cool what ever it is! #1235410

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!! #1235427

Steve Mescha April 07, 2005

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 :-) #1236991
