Description One of nature's little gems

Took a shot of these reeds in a dirty puddle in a field this morning and thought, this is just one of these simple little shots that we walk past every day and never notice it.
There was not a cloud in the sky, just a dull light, and the water was so still it gave off near perfect reflections.

Full view please, and enjoy

Camera - Nikon D70s
Lens - Sigma 70/300mm (shot at 135mm)
ISO 400
Exposure - 1/250 sec @ F6.3
Taken on the 15/7/07 @ 6.50am.

In thumb, I thought you had made a watermark of your signature ... it looked like scribbled script. I have said before ...it is your beautiful eye for detail that makes you a great photographer. Lots of folks have the same camera as you but they do not see as you see.
