THE PHOTO:
Probably as close as I would come to a self-portrait. My reflection in the murky waters of Lake Moananui. The darkened corners (vignetting) are a result of the combination of a UV filter and a Circular Polarizing filter tacked on to the end of my 18-70mm lens. The previous 3-4 images had the same thing, hence the crops. This time I thought it added something to this very boring shot. I do like the light refraction from the shadow however.
