WC509 False Horizons

This is a repost from a boat trip in the Okefenokee a few years ago. I rotated a portion of the original 180, and noticed some interesting areas that looked like imaginary horizon lines. This is all reflection, the real thing is just below the frame.

Very abstract with nice hints of something concrete just beyond my senses.

Bill, I can't tell what's real and what's reflection. Just to the right of center and down on the bottom, I see some element that doesn't appear to fit. An OOF object.

I'm still scratching my head over this one ...

Regards,

Carol

I'm fascinated with how parts of this reflection are so sharp that they could be the straight shot and other parts show typical distortions. The 180 rotation is perfect for this shot.

This is really interesting to look at - it feels very surreal because of the clarity of the reflections. Beautiful!
