Nice colors and catching the reflection. Did you use a zoom lens? The
distortion of the line across the tops of the columns, and the columns
'falling out' is a bit of a distraction.

That's the reason that nobody likes the Canon 20mm F2.8. :-)


Was the lens axis horizontal to the ground?


Are you going to ask me if it was on a tripod too? :-) No, it was angled
slightly, ~3-5 degrees, down to catch the reflections in the mud puddle.
Oddly enough, I commented to one of the guys there that I'd love to come
back with a lift platform, and do it right.
