Picture This!
Reflections

Shutterbug Staff  |  Dec 1, 2005

Light is a dancer. Given an opportunity to bounce around, it will. Given a surface, it will play upon it. Given the right time of day, it will glance around corners and capture scenes that would otherwise be unseen. The subject of our Picture This! for this month was reflections, and readers responded with some of the most fascinating photographs we've seen for quite a while. Some revealed beauty, others a playfulness that matched that of light.
