During 2012, I had the good fortune of visiting Trillium Lake in Oregon near Mt Hood.  It was a beautiful day, with just a slight wind that interfered a bit with the reflection of the mountain.  I set up my tripod, used my cable release, and tried to get a number of shots between the slight breezes.

I thought I got my "imagined" shot:  a great view of Mt Hood and a reflection in Trillium Lake.  When I got home and loaded the images on my computer, I was surprised to see a little girl in the far left of the frame.

Favorite One: The Original At first, I was pretty disappointed with this shot.  The little girl had run into the frame and was putting one hand in the water.  And, to make matters worse, the reflection was affected by the wind.  I tried to set up for another shot, but the wind transformed to a steady breeze and I lost my reflection.

On my flight home, I decided to play around with my images using photo-editing apps on my iPad.  I think I was using the layering affect in Filterstorm.  I wondered what image I would make if I would let everything go B&W except for the little girl.  And here is the result:

Favorite One: She ran into my picture and touched the water I am quite pleased with the resulting image.  It changed my perspective from the little girl being an "intruder in the frame" to wondering about the delight the little girl when touching the water.
