Curves and Reflections

Uploaded: September 04, 2006

Description

Canon 2.8 60mm lens
ISO 200
4.00 at 11/8 sec.
Photo Opportunities come at the oddest times. I was washing dishes when I noticed this little guy flew up and stuck on a plant. The colors in the bubble were reflections on the floaties outside the window in the pool.
