The reflections in pools of water and the creeks flowing out of the Sierra Nevada Mountains were as colorful as I've ever seen them, in what was, in my memory, the best year for autumn color I've ever seen. One of the enjoyable aspects of photographing reflections of fall in bodies of water is the knowledge that each image is unique.

The trick to finding good reflections is, of course, to have some experience to know they are there. And the careful photographer will walk around a reflection, to see both what might be imagined, as well as all that can be revealed.
