Forgive me for apparently doubting the photographer himself, Richard, but I
am with Chris on this one. It looks as if the reflected leaves around the
lily pads are from the same trees as the reflected leaves around the
treestump, thus if the reflected leaves around the tree stump are 200 feet
away, then the reflected leaves arounb the lily pads must be atleast 200
feet away, and should be as in/out of focus as the rest of the leaves. It's
a bit of an optical illusion, methinks.
Nice depth, nice colour.

Thanks Chris. The blurred leaves (reflection) has more to do with depth of
field than disturbed water even though the water was more disturbed behind
the tree stump. The tree stump was about 20 feet off shore from where I was
standing and the shoreline behind the stump was about a couple hundred feet
from me.
