Light is a dancer. Given an opportunity to bounce around, it will. Given a
surface, it will play upon it. Given the right time of day, it will glance around
corners and capture scenes that would otherwise be unseen. The subject of our
Picture This! for this month was reflections, and readers responded with some
of the most fascinating photographs we've seen for quite a while. Some
revealed beauty, others a playfulness that matched that of light.
