This image looks to me so much like an impressionist painting from Claude Monet that I actually looked to see if there were any water lilies in the background. The ripples in the water create a wavy reflection reminiscent of impressionist style brush strokes. The colors are similar to that in many of Monet’s water lily paintings. The bird is a Tricolor Heron, but the image itself is also comprised of three colors, the bluish purple, the green, and the light tans and whites. But this is clearly a photograph presented as I saw the scene in camera. Maybe Monet’s paintings were more realistic than we thought and his brush strokes weren’t just giving an impression of the scene, they were the scene.
