Gorgeous reflections, 'which side is up?' effect--- I look forward to seeing the rice as is slowly emerges too.

great shot! great composition! love the reflection and the tones!

yeah, reminds of my time in Japan - yes it's true you get to see these rice fields next to family homes all over even in places you don't quite expect :)

but i find it real cool that families actually plant thier own rice, vegetables etc etc... very rare for in land scarce Little Red Dot Singapore... :(

Sash from Adelaide, Australia

I know a guy who accidentally drove his company car into one of these. Soon thereafter embarrassment and infamy followed him around like two long lost chums. I would've taken pity on him but he was a gaijin and a bit of a dickhead.

PS Fifteen seconds is perfect for the lack of natural lighting present.

You're doing some great work with your night shots.

Chris Sullivan from Melbourne, Australia

Very nice finish to the series Stu, it is strange to think that crops like rice are planted in suburban areas, I couldn't imagine a wheat field in my neighbourhood! Very nicely taken photo, the reflections and 15 second exposure seem to have done the trick. Great work!

Sidonie from Sydney, Australia

Happy birthday to your mum Stu - this shot is real eye opener - the view pof Japan I much prefer to the tourist cliches. That slither and spot of moonlight is inspired! Your series has been outstanding.

Hey there! Sorry I'm so late in commenting on the last of the water series - I seem to have gotten caught up in the cosmic order of events. I really love the eerie feeling to this. Just lovely!
