An abstract, something I seldom shoot on purpose.
This is a small puddle of water amongst the stones and leaves.
A bit of clarity and selective vibrance and hue mods.
Hi Peter, believe it or not, the entire image is in focus. I have cropped out the elements that would show that, and left what you see. What you see are small objects that are partially submerged, and where the water has crept up over them, forming a lens like structure. When the glancing angle sunlight hit these, the light scattered, like through a lens, and making it looked somewhat blurred. The post processing enhanced this.
If I get a chance, I'll post a larger crop tomorrow in pending which shows the in-focus elements Jim

Yes, very interesting Jim. Maybe more compelling if the entire frame was in focus? My eye is drawn to the sharp contrast of the highlights outlining the darker materials.
