Pierre, you have caught my fullest attention with this outstanding shot! Love water so much and you have shown its very finest qualities here. The reflective color is great! Is there editing in this shot? Must be seen full size;-) Give us more Pierre!

Hey! Thanks Mike & Darryl :-))) Absolutely no editing!
I was in a little town of Alsace (see 'carpe diem' or 'a late walk') and the morning sun gave a wonderful light.
In fact, you see the reflection of a yellow house in a fountain.

Wonderful lightning and color as usual Pierre. I love this shot. It has got to be a reflection of something other than just morning sun in this photo though... Is it a house or a boat or something?

En jij spreekt voor een franssprekende belg, behoorlijk goed nederlands :-)
Leuk is ook, dat belgië leert om mensen met 'u' aan te spreken..
Hier in nederland zeggen we dat alleen tegen de belangrijke personen en/of de oudere generatie....Anders praten wij met 'je'. Maar het is een eer voor mij, om met 'u' aangesproken te worden. Bedankt :) En je foto is prachtig!

C'est une illusion magique de l'eau qui a l'air de l'or fondu. Comme d'habitude, avec vos talents extrêmement douées, vous nous donnez de nouveau une vraie beauté.

Beautiful shot, Pierre. The blue and gold colours really complement each other, and there's a lovely range of light and reflection effects on the water surface. Very nice indeed.

Well, I certainly thought it was another fractal. I kept studying it and studying it and finally began to think, "Maybe not". Then I read everyone's commentary. To say the least, you have one wicked photographic eyeball to have spotted that and see it as the beautiful capture it became. It made me cry and I have no crimminal record. Ha!
