No prize on this one but it is not as difficult or stimulating as Stans post. Mauro suggested the TWIST on this one on a challenge last year. The quality is not what I would like but I found it interesting.

I think its quite difficult and stimulating, but my brain power is limited...
I havent the slightest, guess i should search for Mauro's old posts. The bottom part looks like geese necks but the top looks like a satanic woodchuck! What's weird is it isnt a perfect reflection, some subtle differences... :cool:

Whatever it is, I want one! I'll guess some kind of diving duck with a bad hair cut.

I'd say a heron belly deep in water taking a plunge at prey...oh, and turned 90*

Very cool image!!! Made me say "What the ....."

I second the heron guess, but the rust colored areas have me befuddled (or more befuddled as is usually the case).

A great mystery shot. I think I see the top of the head of the heron and the beak splashing the water but I still can't make out the rest of the image. :confused:

Dan,
your reflections are always amazing. Easy to find now that I know the solution. :wink:

Dan, real clever how you rotated this one vertical, amazing how much a small change in orientation, fool's the brain. Great images, including the Blue with the fish, stellar.
