Artist Statement

Water takes the form of its container as Brooklyn takes the form of all its peoples and cultures. Like the water that ripples in the wind, as the people and cultures change so does Brooklyn's reflections. Family lore says that my mother took me to the Brooklyn Museum the day after I was born. To honor the museum I grew up in , I submit Changing Reflections of Brooklyn. This picture was taken with a Nikon 3400 with the camera pointed directly into the water pool outside the Palm House at the Brooklyn Botanic Garden.

Very creative....unusual to get such a reflection.

Very nice effect.

I just Love this image.... But I am not sure about how well it fits with the Changing Faces Theme. I'm giving it a high evaluation with question marks???

A stunning image.

excellent capture.

I loved the Botanic Garden since childhood. It is quite in the middle of kaos. This photo captures one of the many beautiful things about this place & Brooklyn. I love the rippling efect aginst the clouds and blue sky. The leaf is a great touch.

I love this shot, not too sure how it applies to the topic at hand -- maybe, reflections of Brooklyn?

Poignant and like a painting. The composition speaks to me.

Great shot. However, the leaf at the top of the frame intrudes on the composition as a whole.

makes its point through the image

I like this image a lot. It's kind of like a distorted reality.

I love reflections...they just go to my sopul...

One of the greatest honors I have ever received. Thank you...Thank you. A quick aside, I am in the throes of purchasing an apartment in Prospect Lefferts. — Posted by Patricia Perlo
