Description
Taken near Lismore, NSW, Australia, at an abandoned quarry. It's weird, the water is naturally this colour, no Photoshop altering. The water comes from a natural sping under the ground. Was a bit scary swimming in it!Hope you like, this is my favourite image in this set.

Not photoshopped. It used to be my aim to make things look photoshopped without software, some I won some I lost

Really wonderful and disorienting perspective
And the water is really that colour? That's amazing The only water with colours similar to that, though maybe a bit greener, where I live (which is in Norway) is the rivers near the glaciers. And I don't have to tell you that it's freezing cold!
Beautiful

WOW.
I clicked on this from a friend's site and maaaan...I've never seen a picture like it. Most of the reflective pieces I see can be easily told apart from which is reflection and which is not. Though the coloring of the water can somewhat give it away, it really took me by surprise-I had to stare at it for quite awhile.
This is an absolutely gorgeous and beautiful shot.

i was so confused when i saw this picture...was trying to figure out how you took it....with a wide-angle lens? and then i realized it was impossible, and then i read your description and it made sense.
wow!

Thank you, these photos can be taken with almost any camera, I think the focal length was about 70mm.

Oh, awesome.
The blue colour is probably caused by iron ore. In rock, it is a blue/black colour, but when it stains the water you get that beautiful turquoise colour.

lol thanks, I did have my suspicions about some kind of mineral being the effector. Thanks again

Great angle and clarity! That water truly is amazing- but I love the color in the rocks and countryside as well.

I found quite a few of my photos in the past have looked better upside down...perhaps I should move from Australia back to the UK and all my photos will look better!

I'm not very into photography, but I like this picture. It makes you have to look twice to see what's really there.
