This is only my second puddle reflection I’ve shot. We haven’t had a whole lot of rain this year.
This church had its parking lot repaved over the winter. The contractor has been back twice to repair, but deep puddles are still forming after wet weather. I hope he gets it right, as it’s mostly the elderly who attend the church.
So, on the way home from music lessons, I saw one puddle left in the lot from the rain the night before. I had to stop and take this shot, as the skies were so blue that afternoon. I did one wee bit of “post processing” here. I flipped the picture over, as the original was shot with the steeple upside down. :o)
There’s really not too much to say about today’s photo, so I suppose you can just leave a note with what’s for dinner tonight.
*my turn – Tuesday night is breakfast dinner at our place, and tonight’s dinner is homemade waffles. I better remember to buy buttermilk this morning.

interesting, nice shot
It's funny... before I read the description, I thought maybe it was taken through a frost-covered windshield which was just beginning to defrost. An interesting way to look at it. ;)
As for my dinner, I'm not sure... I know for sure that I'm having teriyaki Yakisoba noodles for lunch, though! Mmmm~... love that delicious high sodium content. :P
Nicely composed.
Very nice shot. Good color and detail in the reflection.
Ha! I been takin a couple shots like that...I really like the deep blue there. Nice Composition and Framing!
Beautiful! Love the vivid colors :)
Great framing. You got it JUST right!
Really well done! I like this one.
Breafast for dinner? The BEST! Eggs over-easy, bacon, hashbrowns and toast. YUM!
Yes, before i read the description I thought it was a ohotoshop made up job, I can see how you took it now. Very imaginative and a great shot.
Very nice, what good shapes and composition
Very nice - first reaction was "painting?".
Beautiful way to capture a church steeple. I love it. As for dinner...Pasta Fagoli, an Italian dish I've learned how to make since I've been here in Italy and it's wonderful. You'd think that beans and pasta wouldn't go together, but it's excellent and can be cooked so many different ways.
I love that shot. I'm gonna have to try some photos like that myself. I thought it was a Photoshop job as well, until I read the description. Very cool!
I love it! The "abstract" shape of the puddle creates a really cool effect.
Magical.
Nicely done. I always find that the focus is difficult to get right on "puddle" shots, but you seem toa have it just spot on.
WOW! Great shot micki! Just awesome..
Is is a fantastic scenary. Good colors.
Brilliant micki:)
wow - loving this one micki!
Wow this looks really mythical.
That is really cool! Well Done!
LOVE this, I love reflections and this one is perfect. The colour and Point of view is amazing.
That's a double take, wow, what is that. Ver eye grabbing. I could see it as a cover on a novel if that doesn't sound insulting.
Can I eat at your house!!?? I love waffles for dinner. I'm thinking pizza maybe. Last night I had Cheerios late. That just won't do...
This picture looks very surreal to me which I don't really like it, but I like how you framed it.
This is by far one of the best reflection shots I've seen. Nice work Micki!
And for dinner? I am thinking stroganoff hamburger helper! MMMMM!
Well seen and worth the stop to photograph - as for dinner... after your announcement of waffles, I'm sure it will involve some manner of breakfast fare :-)
Dreamlike reflection cleverly captured!
Looks surreal!
Great photo!
I agree with others who refer to it as "surreal" or "dreamlike". I think it's the deep blue of the sky, with the edges of the puddle and surrounding pavement lending a "cloudy" feel to the framing of the church.
Great photoshop work Micki. Haha just kidding. Had to give you a hard time. I know your a film fan. This is a really nice reflection shot. It works so well it looks like a photoshop post. You have a really cool shot.
Hi Micki- Great site here! This shot is definitely surreal... very cool. I love reflective shots like this. Puddles make great mirrors. Do you have an RSS feed? I'm having trouble keeping track of your blog...
wow shot!!...excellent capture...my favorite shot for today:-)
Staggeringly brilliant reflection shot. I bow in your general direction. I have a couple i am pleased with but this knocks them into a bucket. A real crackingshot!
nice reflection !!!
Totally awesome! I had no idea it was a reflection in a puddle. Thought you had added some sort of frame around a regular shot of a church. Wow, very cool!
Masterful shot!! I thought it was a poster for a fantasy movie at first. Then I read the title and it all clicked. This is really wonderful, and a great way to photograph a subject that is all too often rendered flat and boring in photographs. I'm so glad I saw this today.
What a fantastic eye you have! Great capture!
Hi Micki. nice shot I love this color .:)
and please take see this shot my friend ben's photo.

very creative Micki!
I love reflection shots and this is one of the best in my book. I am switching from johnh to johnz.
Just stunning!
Great effects here - good framing in the puddle and even the garbage looks like seagulls or something! Like the wysiwyg approach to the photoblog as well.
fantastic reflection - my first thought was that it was one of those castles in the sky type of paintings!
Fantastic! What a nice reflection !
Lovely as always. Different, but lovely
So Dreamy. Over 50 comments. WOW.
Awesome reflection, you've done a great job here!
Superb reflection, well spotted.
A great reflection shot! Well done!

This is awesome!! Very creative, when I first saw it I thought it wasnt a real photo, very nice :)
too beautiful for word...
Just too cool.
Great image -- I love reflections in puddles as well. Nicely done.
And to tink I almost missed this *gasp*
Not much left to say here. I love puddles. I really LOVE them, even moreso when something's reflected. And yours... oh my, I'm even too stumped for words to express my delight and joy. Definitely favourite material!!
Hi Micki! This is a truly great reflection. I´m amazed again and again how sharp reflections in puddles can turn out on a photograph. The composition and the colours are great as well. Great shot.
I'm also a fan of reflection-pictures. This one is nice. Well done!
Wow! Nicely done.
i love reflections ... & this is stunning, simply stunning!
great stuff!
;)
I didn't notice this one, i really like it.
