This is just lovely tone in this nice, smooth pond surface as the sun sets through the clouds and the remnants of reeds and bare trees. This is not edited; it’s what the camera gave me. I was discovering that the macro lens, designed for closeups on bright days, could really handle a lot of different subjects.

November 18, 2012. Nikon D90 (DX sensor), 105mm Nikon macro lens (35mm equivalent: 155mm), f/16, 1/1,500, ISO 500.
