    This month's photo topic is "Reflections" ... pretty self explanatory

    Happy shooting!
    Again, the rules are simple:

    Should be be using some canon gear , this is a canon forum after all.
    Shot with the assignment in mind, go out and shoot something new don't dig up something from the archives.
    and most importantly have fun.

    I went out looking for something like this today but many of the places where I would have nice still water were frozen over, tidal areas so not too smooth. I would have like to had something closer, but this was the best I got, so heavily cropped. But I'm happy anytime that I can get a belted kingfisher in flight. R6 MarkII, RF200-800 at 800mm, 1/3200, F10, ISO 5000.
