Luminescence - a photo on Flickriver

Luminescence

While hiking through Coyote Gulch with Aaron, I noticed countless stationary puddles along the banks of the tributary. Within many of these pools is heaps of decomposing foliage. The decomposing foliage release natural oils than become suspended at the surface of the water and reflect the surrounding colors.

This particular oil puddle caught my eye as blue skies and yellow foliage created a beautiful metallic palette of reflected colors. Even better, three yellow leaves floated on the surface and almost perfectly pointed to each other forming somewhat of a circular pattern. Most people would think photographers intentionally place leaves in such compositions are pure works of nature. Even the slightest disturbance of the puddles causes the surface oils to break apart and destroy the metallic sheen.
