[pic] Magical Water Mirror Reflection

flickr.com — "Once in a great while the water at Oxbow Bend in Grand Teton National Park is still enough to create a surface that mirrors Mount Moran magically......and I was lucky enough to be there when that magic moment happened last weekend. I was standing next to a local who said she had never seen the water so still in the last ten years."

  • L4WL3RS34L, on 10/10/2007, -2/+158 Honestly, does it really take this long to make a picture section?
  • blumph, on 10/10/2007, -5/+141they've made water reflective? inconceivable!
  • theysayjump, on 10/10/2007, -3/+87Wow. Beautiful.

    It's shame you can't view a higher res version, but still....
  • inactive, on 10/10/2007, -1/+60I miss Bob Ross
  • Jaymz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+37Well, kinda. Not the original, but oh well...

  • MrsHarris, on 10/10/2007, -3/+35You keep using that word... I do not think it means what you think it means.
  • themastersb, on 10/10/2007, -3/+32You always have to get some jackass that covers the entire photo with a tag
  • reticulate, on 10/10/2007, -0/+28Too small. Needs more pixels.
  • Jibberwalk, on 10/10/2007, -1/+28I remember during one episode of Diggnation, Kevin mentioned that there were technical reasons as to why it was taking so long.

    And then, I don't know - this may be unrelated - but the smell of horse ***** started to wafte through my window.
  • kotatsu, on 10/10/2007, -7/+32HDR is an insult to photography quite frankly. It's the easiest way to completely destroy a beautiful image and make it look like like a reject from a broken ink jet printer.
  • YoctoYotta, on 10/10/2007, -1/+24damn you digg, my session has not expired!!!!
  • blumph, on 10/10/2007, -4/+24CREATE TABLE pictures_articles(
    id guid,

    yay for me
  • Shenanigans, on 10/10/2007, -3/+23Hardly magical.
  • MrsHarris, on 10/10/2007, -0/+20It's an Indigo Montoya quote from The Princess Bride... perhaps I should have made that clear to start with
  • vofuse, on 10/10/2007, -0/+15CANNONBALL!
  • tybris, on 10/10/2007, -2/+16How exactly is this magical? In mountain areas there are a LOT of places with near perfect reflection.
  • vtbarrera, on 02/03/2009, -7/+21Where's the HDR version?
  • meatmcguffin, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Probably being photoshopped as we speak :/
  • OwdenBowden, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12As with everything HDR does have its place but a quality image (often) is in not need of HDR tweaks.
  • mlostracco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+12Nothing adds to a beautiful photo like some knob putting square frame annotations on top of it saying things like, "nice!" or "suggested crop?"

    Worst feature ever. TURN THE OPTION OFF, Flickr users.
  • b-dizzle, on 10/10/2007, -1/+12"Technical Reasons" = Trying to find a way to keep 6 million porn pictures from being submitted as soon as the service goes live.
  • ldkronos, on 10/10/2007, -1/+11happy trees
  • FastZ, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10Uh...I wouldn't really classify this as "magical". It's not really anything special. Sure, sure, it's a pretty picture but nothing to be digging about.
  • RobototoboR, on 10/10/2007, -1/+10~*~M A G I C A L~*~

    I guess it's better than BREAKING: MOST AWESOME Water Reflection EVER!!!
  • Miche1987, on 10/10/2007, -2/+11Holy *****, you used the right "you're"!
  • jmchez, on 10/10/2007, -0/+8It was a rich bastard that bought most of the already private land and gave it to the government to form Grand Teton National Park, John D. Rockefeller jr.

    I hate it when Flickr members don't let you view their full-size images - the 500px wide thumbnail is not big enough.
  • FTLJohnson, on 10/10/2007, -1/+7not to mention that ANYONE can achieve a mirror smooth surface on a lake simply by creating a long exposure.... (filters can be used to block out light if it's an exceptionally bright day)
  • D4r7h3v1l, on 10/10/2007, -0/+6Gerald Fjord, Henry Fjord, etc.
  • zeromancer, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6i wouldn't be surprised if instead of only making a pic section, digg is trying to make image hosting as well.
  • Caleb83, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Flickr sucks because all these ***** want to leave a comment on the pic so that there are boxes obstructing the view.
  • Rukaribe, on 10/10/2007, -1/+6I hate those damn note boxes on pictures. Honestly, who came up with that idea? And more importantly who actually uses them. They freakin boxed the whole picture and wrote 'Paradise'! Wtf is with that? Use the ***** comment section. Honestly, if I saw these people I would punch them in the throat, I am so angry right now I am frightened that I am so angry over this but it is such a stupid feature of Flickr. *****!
  • JimmyRyan, on 10/10/2007, -0/+5Is it just me that enjoys watching a person's comment bomb? :)
  • mlostracco, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Those stupid awards are the dumbest thing that's happened on Flickr...they should never have allowed images to be displayed in the comments. Ooh, I've won some Top Diamond Plus award? Let me update my resume!
  • Spr0k3t, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4It's all in how you wind the coils for condensation.
  • paidhima, on 10/10/2007, -0/+4Fjords!?
  • gordonf238, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3I wish more people on Flickr offered constructive criticism instead of saying "WOW WOW WOW!" and then pasting a photo of an Oscar to denote some lame personal award of theirs.
  • EBFoxbat, on 10/10/2007, -1/+4The only technical reason possible is that they intend to host/mirror the images locally.
  • cruzlee, on 10/10/2007, -0/+3And maybe here, there lives a little tree, right next to his big brother.
    (whacks brush) Let's beat the devil out of 'em!
    Then we get some phtalo blue with crimson white on our knife. Juuuuust like that.
    And mmmm..there goes a little, peaceful stream riiiiight through the forest.
  • plunkettt, on 10/10/2007, -3/+6You're an idiot.
  • m3t00, on 10/10/2007, -2/+5Great... now some rich bastards will put a golf course there.
  • SocialPoison, on 10/10/2007, -1/+3puffy clouds?
  • skyfire1, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I threw a rock in it.
  • orlyfactor, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2This guy takes some spectacular photos, check out his entire photostream.
  • caressmedown, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I wasted clicks to see a stereotypical low resolution mountain picture, why was this even dugg?
  • archer104, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I know that flickr isn't going down I just dugg the mirror. Nevermind, I'm an idiot.
  • Xinareiaz, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2I was wondering why this looked so familiar and then I realized it was because my uncle painted it and its hanging in my house lol. http://www.nationalparksart.com/OxbowBend.html
  • maverex, on 10/10/2007, -0/+2Ive seen something like this before in Canada. It was simply amazing.. it was as if there was a hole in the ground and there was sky/trees underneath.
