ABC Wednesday: L is for light

Lustrous light can almost make everything look unreal.

There are some things I like about this type of lighting but it almost looks like the image was doctored in some way when it wasn't.

Light and shadows end up with lots of lines in the next shot.

The sky is lighter than the blue of the reflected light on the lake.
