A vision of abstract beauty in nature - sun, reflection, the hull of a scull, and reeds on the Thames, just by Radley College, Boathouse. Not a straightforward image to capture - cloud cover kills it, whilst clear skies lead to images dominated by the sun. You need a semi-obscured sun, with some thing like thin cloud or alto cumulus to make it work - like here.
