Flowing Water, Reflections

Keywords: Wilson, stream, Wilton, Maine, sunset, reflection

I've been really fascinated with photographing moving water lately, and using reflections as part of the composition. The best reflections can be seen at twilight or on overcast day. Reflections of the sun can be a little trickier to photograph. Because as the sun moves, the reflections move. That and there's always the possibility of lens flare. I didn't crop this photo. But, I did play with brightness/contrast/intensity as well as color saturation. I was trying to find the best way to make the most of every detail, every reflection...I think I succeeded.
