Title:	Natural illusion
Gear used:	Om4 + 21/3.5
Diaphragm:	5.6 ?
Shutter speed:	?
Film used:	Fuji Superia 200 ASA
Technical information:	While hiking I have most of the time the 21/3.5 as "standard" lens on my camera, the other lenses are in my backpack.
Subject information:	When hiking I came across this pond with this curious reflection, the lightly overcast sky is reflected except where the shade of the tree is. By the way the picture is rotated 180 degrees because of the very strange effect it gives. When you want to see the original picture save it to disk and rotate it 180 degrees.

Surreal. Nice effect by turning the picture upside-down.

Ah! It took me a few minutes to understand how this was taken. It's a a beauty but I wished that there wasn't that bush on the left.

At first I thought this was taken in a non-outdoors setting and there was glass in front of the subject giving an 'ant farm' look to the root system. Well spotted, superb!

Very unusual, beautiful, unearthly colors... the image holds my attention meditatively.

Very interesting shot, and yes, it's a much better effect viewed this was as opposed to right side up.
