Painted Reflections

by Andrea Gulickx

This shot was taken at the Leersumse veld in the Netherlands. A beautiful place at 5 o'clock in the morning. No sounds were there just the fog and Mother duck with her babies. It was magical.

Equipment: Nikon D300,Nikon 70-300mm f/4.5-5.6G ED-IF AF-S VR

I am a selfeducated photographer living in the netherlands. My whole life I am loving beautiful light situations, colours and compositions. I have worked with that for years as a graphic designer in the fashion industrie. At that time photography was just a hobby. I have a few passions. Photography,travel and our garden. When I am not travelling I love to take macro pictures in our garden. I love to paint with the light. That's why I called my photoblog 'painted by light'.

Lovely, peaceful capture Andrea. The surface of the lake in the foreground tricks my eyes into thinking it is actually moving water!
