Like  many photographers, reflections have a special attraction that can make a photo come alive. But since I don’t live close to a lake, pond or other natural attraction, I have to keep a keen eye open for rare opportunities. The reflection pool at the local Town Square provided a great chance for this Christmas photo.

Here’s a photo tip. Use a longer exposure to calm the water for a smoother reflection and get lower to the ground to bring the reflection closer to the subject.
