A Moment in Photographic History:
Ferdinando Ongania, born in Venice, Italy on July 18, 1842, was an Italian photographer who published a two volume set entitled "Calli e Canali in Venezia." The publication contained photogravures of Venice’s canals, streets, and inhabitants.

A Photographic Quote of Note:
Ultimately, my hope is to amaze myself. The anticipation of discovering new possibilities becomes my greatest joy.

I concur w/ the above. So, you gonna share what you did? This doesn't seem a simple reflection, but rather some Photoshop technique, maybe mixed with camera movement while shooting? Or am I just seeing more into this? Very pleasing!

This is simply beautiful, Michael. I think you have fiddled with it, right?

Wow, what did you do to get this effect? Its quite spectacular with its waves and flows! This seems quite a departure from you usual style of photography! :-)

Love these patterns and watery 'brushed' feel of art.
