Description

This was taken mid-July 2014. This glorious new pond environment was created at Bowman's Hill Wildflower Preserve after much of the park and the existing pond were severely damaged by Hurricane Sandy. Things are slowly coming back to normal after hundreds of trees fell and the park's 10-ft iron deer fence was destroyed. Used a touch of TOPAZ (Impression) on this image.

Exif: F Number: 5.6, Exposure Bias Value: 0.00, ExposureTime: 1/500 seconds, Flash: did not fire, compulsory flash mode, ISO: 200, White balance: Auto white balance, FocalLength: 39.00 mm, Model: Canon EOS 5D Mark III

Absolutely gorgeous Michelle. I love the beautiful look of the pond you give us, the colors are so pretty, the flower, the reflection on the water, the peaceful feeling I get. Your use of the filter was so controlled and in the perfect amount. Awesome. #1614077
