Default Darkness to Light

I was playing around outside with a mirror and took this. I hated it when I first took it because the mirror was just a giant bright spot. I adjusted the exposure in Lightroom...while I don't LOVE how dark the grass is, I really like the stark contrast between the darkness of the grass and the brightness of the reflection in the mirror...which you can kind of see is a tree. =)

Dark and Light.

Cool shot. If you hadn't said I wouldn't have thought that was grass initially.

Thanks!! It was an accident shot...
I like the idea of shooting it at twilight! I'm going to go find a good place to shoot now. =)
