This is an inversion where you look through the pebbles, leaves, etc to the water below where a real leaf (collected and preserved from an Autumn oak when we lived in London years ago) floats by about to disappear.

And yes, they are real 3D corrugations. I am fascinated by the colours and textures of rusting metal and like to think I can reproduce them with paint canvas and PVC to a standard that's getting close to perfection.
