Gray skies can make for beautiful reflections...

Amazing photo, great reflections, how big are these "onions" in reality?
Cheers Wys

@Wysterior: Wys, they are about 1 meter tall and probably just a bit less than that wide; some are a bit larger and some smaller.

They certainly do Ron, what beautiful glass water sculptures. A wonderful image.

I really like how you've framed this. Very cleverly done. I must confess, being OCD, that I'd try to have cut out the reflection of the pylons by moving to a different angle, but that says more about me than you. Nice bright colors.

Beautiful reflection...I agree with GJC about the pylons being a little distracting, but all-in-all great composition. Well done!

Lovely reflections in this one, but I think it would've been better if you framed it so more than one of the objects was fully in shot!
