I didn't see the 3 flags until I processed this image. The last 2 images were taken from a patio table placed on a patio chair to get the lens above a wall.
The leaves and grass are in a low lying fen/swamp with a lightly frozen inch or 2 of water underneath. I spent an hour or so trying to get some patterns and testing the lens at F16. I also tested my new waterproof shoes - everytime I stepped I sunk a little into the water. Happily all was well.
