Blue sky, white clouds and dark trees are reflected in the still surface of a pond, framed by deep shadow. A leafy branch hangs low over the water and stands out in silhouette against the reflected sky. Small ripples and patches of green algae float near the center. Rocks and dense shrubs line the far bank at the top of the frame.
