Reflections of Light and Shade

Today I decided to take advantage of the crisp, bright autumn weather and took a walk in nearby Altamont Gardens. The colours of the leaves, both on the trees and on the ground, were wonderful, and the quality of the light was exquisite. Beside the 18th century manmade lake I was struck by the light reflected from its surface and cast on the surrounding leaves. In the animated GIF linked below, you can see that rippling light cast on Gunnera and Japanese maple.

@NormanDarlo I have no idea, I am still playing around with it to see if I can figure it out.
It works on youtube videos, not sure hat is the difference.

@CarolDM Okay, thanks, Carol. But it differs depending on whether it's in a post or in a comment, yeah?
