In a muddy parking lot, after a heavy rainstorm, I happened upon an abandoned paper boat someone had made sailing erratically in the afternoon breezes. I took over fifty pictures in 45 minutes of patience, waiting for the boat to position itself just right in the reflections of the white-painted palm trees and being broadside to the camera and offering a desirable frame. ...before a water-logged sinking. Whew! I liked the simple, clean white trunks as a background, and the Palm tree's trunk reflections that seemed to disappear into infinity at the bottom. This counteracted the stark truncated (pun intended) top of the image. It's almost monochromatic, but taken full color. Just cropped a little and tweaked. Canon T3i with 17-55mm Canon zoom. A satisfying serendipitous shoot.
