22nd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Natural World
Reflection and Shadow
Reflection and shadow on water of a Great Blue Heron. There's no trick, I just happened to be in the right place on the edge of a lake that was very still. As I got close to the water's edge, I startled a Great Blue Heron into taking flight, and I managed to get several shots. This one captured not only the bird in flight, but its reflection in the water, and its shadow at the same time.
