What is here is a creek bed with underwater plants. Very clear water. Moss on the top. Those are plants under the water and not a reflection. Slight reflection of a tree in there.

Wow, this is very over saturated. It almosts hurts my eye! I can't find a focal point, either from the lens' focus point of view or from the point of view that there is no place for your eye to land after it wanders around for a second...

This looks very over processed or something...the reflection is not hard to figure out - bad title. But the picture is hard to look at for the glare.

This is a very attractive image, the green is so refreshing. Th floating plants are very cloud-like and give a 3-D impression.

The colours are suberb. But it does feel a little chaotic.

I like the idea, but I feel that some of the greenery floating on the water is a little too bright.

Im not sure what it is so it wait till sunday night for the answer.probably weed on and under the water, but I will wait.

As a photo it is a little intriguing, but the I find the contrast between light and dark too much in this composition

beautiful reflection, could have been even more appealing without the distracting bright areas caused by those pesky floating plants

This is a cool shot. hope you used a polorizer, now i cant find your focal point, it all looks a litle out of focus, probably due to the water moving or somethign, good idea anyways,

weird looking scene, but no where to move my eyes. looks like an abstract painting more than a photo.

The bit of grass on the bottom left gives it away hehe.. Nice Idea.
The photo itself however lacks a central point, The star actor to tell some story. The waterplants are so very bright green that it loses defenition.
I loke the values in the trees.

its not easy being gren...
the lily pads (??) are a little oversatuated for my liking. The reflected greens are gorgous.

Difficult to tell... (in answer to the title's question)

Beautiful colors and reflections. Would love to see a larger shot to get my bearings. :-)

Interesting photo. It seems kind of a green blurr, but has an interesting multi layer to it. Would like to see better focus, though.
