"Butterfly" Reflected in Water Glass
by Laura Milholland

San Rafael, CA

I have a Butterfly tablecloth on our table in the dining room.
When I had placed a glass of water on the cloth, I noticed that as I looked up from lower down,
the cloth (and butterfly) was reflected in the surface of the water.
So... I just had to play with that to get this photo.
(unaltered - by "play" I meant move the water glass around, etc.)

Very nice! I like the fact that this isn't "just another butterfly picture". Smart thinking!

I didn't mean that others could capture the same photo. I meant they could think a little bit "outside the box". Good thinking for this photo, Laura.

I like your thinking outside the box. This is something our other members (who may have trouble capturing live butterflies) could also do.

Nice out of the box thinking.
