Taken over the side of my canoe, overhanging branches are reflected in the moving water.

Hey, thanks for the nice comments, everyone! And Marcus, I don't like taking pictures from the canoe, but it's one of my favorite places to be. I use a wrist strap when shooting, and keep the camera in waterproof drybox when paddling.
Thanks, again!

Very cool - the leaf appears to be on a journey. You really risk your cam out in the canoe? ;-) Nice shot.

Fabulous shot! I love the patterns in the water and the single gold leaf. --Melanie

Fantastic Gordon - the smooth swirling water and the sharp leaf complement each other perfectly!

Beautiful image, Gordon, very moody. The movement of the water and reflections make the solitary golden leaf all the more striking. Helen
