Clouds & a nice selfie !! How did you achieve this Hazel ?
August 11th, 2013  
Very cool shot. Love the colors and that you caught yourself in it. I'm curious like Beryl?? Is this somehow done using a puddle and something else?
August 11th, 2013  
I reckon this is one of those Planet things. Nicely done, Hazel, an eternal cloudscape...

From your tags I can see that you pictured yourself in a birdbath...
August 11th, 2013  
Col shot.
August 11th, 2013  
Very cool shot and I see your little selfie in there. :)

You are queen of the unexpected selfies Hazel! Beautiful shot and perfect for Barbara Sue - superb blue!

@tishpics

I never expected to be queen of anything so your comment is very nice, thankyou - and it made me chuckle! We have this blue birdbath, blue pots and a blue ball in the front garden.

Just a shot on a bright but cloudy day of our birdbath filled with clean water - the selfie was unexpected - honest! Ivan, I wish I was clever enough to do a Planet thing shot. I'll be starting my third year in December so maybe I'll manage it then!!!! Thanks for all your comments.

Great processing Hazel, wonderful blues!
August 11th, 2013  
This is a reflection? I was wondering how you had caught this thinking it was some special effect!! Very effective Hazel!

@craftymeg @happypat

Thank you both for your comments. Yes, Pat, this is just looking down on the bird bath with the clouds reflected in the water and I just found the selfie! I've used this bird bath several times in different ways for shots - this one is SOOC, no cropping or anything.

Excellent idea and it works well
August 11th, 2013  
Very clever - taken me a while to work it out!
August 11th, 2013  
@quietpurplehaze Thanks for telling you secrets .Very clever and creative.
And a wonderful pic. Fav.
August 11th, 2013  
Great and clever, lovely blue and selfie
August 11th, 2013  
it took my brain ages to fathom this out.....so very very clever..I thought it was a mix of several shots...clouds, eye and a mountain........then I read the tags and my brain sorted it. FAV from me :)

Great imagination.

I'm thinking maybe I should have given more explanation to start with as it wasn't meant to be a puzzle! Thank you both for your interest, compliments and favs.

@quietpurplehaze Oh, thank you for thinking of me, Hazel. This is a fantastic treatment of clouds. Reflected in your birdbath, eh? I'm coming to see that garden sometime-- maybe next year?

@barbcapecod

That would be lovely!!! Make sure to come when the sun is shining - as if that were possible as our weather is so capricious.
August 13th, 2013  
So cool!!!
