Shining Reflections

Photographer's Statement:

One day I was out on a walk with my grandma and sister when we came across a puddle. I have seen photography tricks where people make beautiful reflections with a simple puddle so I decided to take a picture of the forest. I didn’t think much of it but when I looked back at the photo I thought it turned out great. The ground used to be covered with snow, but as the seasons changed it had to go, and as the snow melt, a puddle was formed, now this shining reflection can be adored.
