Our Word View - Reflection

This week Liz chose the word 'reflection'.  I had so many different thoughts on this word that I found it difficult to choose an image.  At first I was drawn to the idea of reflection in a large body of water or reflection in a mirror.  I have images that would fit this bill but I continued to reflect on our challenge.  Then I thought about inner reflection or the reflection of oneself in another's eyes.  I really wanted to go down this path but could not find the perfect image I was hoping to find.  I should have set up a shoot but was busy most of the week not feeling well.  I finally returned to the idea of the reflection of water.  If you read here you know that I am drawn to water.  It is a part of who I am.  Born under the water sign pisces it is natural for me to be drawn to this element of nature.  As I was browsing my photos I came across a long forgotten picture that was hidden away in an unexpected folder.

So here you see the reflection of light off many tiny droplets of water.  This is an image of a beautiful spider web that had collected droplets of rain.  This image has minimal processing.  I think the reflection of light off the water droplets give the impression of beautiful gems.  What do you think.  

I hope you go over to Our Word View to see Liz's interpretation and to find out what word we will be sharing for next week.
