Pictures like this one fascinate me...something that could never be seen with the naked eye but yet can be captured on film.  Whenever I come across pictures like the one above I find myself staring at it for a long time tying to picture a moment when I have seen anything like this.  With this picture I could only come up with one memory...the time I saw a bbi gun fired and for a split second I thought i could see it moving through the air but only when I was standind directly behind the person who shot it.  The mere idea that a camera has the ablility to capture this instant in time that we normally only see the ramifications from is astounding.  There are also astehtic reasons that I really like this photo.  For one, because I have been so focused on color I love that this photo almost lacks color except for the pink marble looking thing.  All the gray makes this pink marble stand out so much in contrast to the gray and it continues to draw my focus even in the reflection of the water.  I also love the use of reflection in general.  I think it adds an excellent sense of of dimension to the overall photograph.
