Dan, three beautiful reflection landscapes—very, very nice! I especially love the second and third images—perfect images with perfect reflections! Thank you so much for sharing these images today Dan.
Kyle, all wonderful images each with amazing reflections—and the first image certainly deserves the “lion’s” share of attention. Wonderful image in color, composition and perhaps risk! Wow! I love the other images as well—in fact, it’s difficult to choose a favorite. Each time I review the images, I change my preference order! Thank you Kyle for sharing all these images! (I‘m hoping—and guessing you had a long telephoto lens for your first photo).I do like me some reflections... It took me a while to cut down to six images to share. I tried to go with some very different locations.

Good to know. The black bears in Tennessee parks sometimes open car doors! Beautiful image.500mm from inside a vehicle - no concerns regarding safety
Larry, thank you for sharing these landscapes with reflections—great choices too! I like the autumn panorama at the local park—with a perfect reflection captured. Very pretty scene. I really like the Red Rock Lake with stones scattered about the water surface. I think it adds to the compositional interest too. I like that you included the grassy foreground as well. Very nice. Perhaps my favorite is the large rock—with perfect reflection centered in your other Red Rock Lake image. Great capture. The heron and turtle images are also well seen scenes (especially love the “turtles!”).A few fro my archive:

Jameel, your images are so very beautiful with such perfect reflections. And I’m sure your “discarded” images were equally so! I especially love the Herbert Lake, Lake O’Hara, and Mt. Shuksan captures. The Yosemite image is perhaps my overall favorite with the additional waterfall feature—water reflected in water! Very nice! Thank you for sharing each of these Jameel!A few from me. I had to redo my selections based on what others have posted to avoid duplications.

Jim, thanks for participating this week, it’s always nice to see more images from members! I like your Disneyland evening images, especially the first two. Thanks for sharing them.Hey John, I don't get to participate in this too much, but I was at California Adventure at Disneyland tonight and saw these reflections and thought of your task.
