Shot a couple of weeks ago in Houston. The importance of picking your position carefully is shown. The largest sections of water had a greyish glare to it. One little section surrounded by trees produced nice green and gold reflections. A low angle helped to prevent additional glare from the quickly rising sun at about 10:30am.

All comments welcome and appreciated. Thanks for looking.

Beautiful, Wayne. Your approach to this shot was ideal. I generally pick the best area of water and wait for ducks to swim into it.
