Default Reflecting on Disney

Wanted to capture something other than the typical walk-up shot of Sleeping Beauty's castle at Disneyland, so I tried this water shot. New to photography, so please be kind

I love it. I am partial to reflections, and can honestly say, I don't believe I have ever seen the castle from this angle.
Oh yeah! Welcome to DPS!

Welcome to DPS! Its great to have you here. You will learn lots and meet some great people.

Love your shot. The water reflection is very cool. I think you accomplished your mission of a different take on the castle. TFS (thanks for sharing).

Welcome & congratulations on your image. You definitely succeeded in your quest to get a different perspective on the castle. I have seen lots of pictures of it over the years but this is unique, and beautiful.

It really does have a fairy tale look about it.

Cheers,
