Water is a great source for mirrored reflections, and when the wind dies down, Holland gets my vote for offering the most mirrored reflection possibilities. It was during a break in one of my Holland workshops, when my assistant, Jill, and I ventured out to shoot runners in the landscape, with Jill standing in as the runner, red sweater already in her bag.

The resulting composition is split 50/50, but notice how the Golden Section is again alive and well in both sections of the image. Notice, too, how the lines of trees form converging parallels between the image’s two halves for about two-thirds of the frame. The sense of movement, caused both by Jill running and the converging parallels, keeps the image from being static despite its 50/50 composition.
