Your workinvokes so many questions Mr. Mac. Like how does the color change when it's reflected in the pool? Are theresmallies in the undercut bank? And is that a superhighway leading to those trees?
how does the color change when it's reflected in the pool?
Water, depending on a number of factors, will not necessarily reflect colors that are true to their sources; this is generally referred to as "albedo".
Albedo , or reflection coefficient , derived from Latin albedo "whiteness" (or reflected sunlight) in turn from albus "white," is the diffuse reflectivity or reflecting power of a surface. It is the ratio of reflected radiation from the surface to incident radiation upon it. Its dimensionless nature lets it be expressed as a percentage and is measured on a scale from zero for no reflection of a perfectly black surface to 1 for perfect reflection of a white surface.
Some surfaces absorb almost all colors of the visible spectrum -- they would be black (the absence of color); other surfaces reflect almost all -- they would be white (all visible spectrum colors merged). A red surface absorbs all colors but red which it reflects.
The law of reflection says that for specular reflection the angle at which the wave is incident on the surface equals the angle at which it is reflected. Mirrors exhibit specular reflection.
Are theresmallies in the undercut bank?
Probably not -- Brookies and Browns for sure.
And is that a superhighway leading to those trees?
No. It's a well-worn path -- I've personally contributed to the wear.
Working on a series of Autumn Posters -- and having a lot of fun -- but I'll be back in the woods and on the streams in a few days -- those are my places of worship.

More to come.
Wish I were there...
I've been stuck in the asphalt jungle all day, and it's not been pretty.
Great pictures, dear A. Mac, as always!
Beautiful photos Mac, looking forward to seeing the rest of them.
Yes, it is beautiful in the Poconos this time of year. Fall splendors are a gorgeous sight to behold. Thanks, Mac.
Where'd everyone go?
Everyone is beating the crap out of each other on different articles....
Hope there will be survivors.

Mac, I'm Indian, born survivor.

Mighty fine sir, mighty fine.
