Puddle Shot: find a bicycle reflection after the rain
Puddle Shot asks you to photograph a puddle, reflection or wet-surface detail with a bicycle or clear cycling context visible. A full mirror image is not mandatory; the proof needs a recognisable wet detail and an unmistakable connection to the ride.

- Photo
- Completion rule
- Photo must show a puddle, reflection, or wet surface detail with bike or cycling context visible.
- A useful fit
- Riders who enjoy reflections, close observation and creative ride photography.
What is this challenge?
A puddle can duplicate a wheel, sky or road sign in miniature. The quest rewards that visual possibility without requiring you to ride through the water.
What is the objective?
Find an accepted wet-surface subject during the outing and compose it with a ride cue.
How do you complete it?
Show the puddle, reflection or wet detail clearly, keeping bicycle context in the same photograph.
What proof is required?
Submit one image. Focus on either the reflected detail or puddle edge so the subject remains deliberate rather than an accidental dark patch.
Practical tips
- Move around the puddle while stopped to see which angle creates the strongest reflection.
- Use part of a wheel or frame as context when the full bicycle would overwhelm the small surface.
- Keep the camera above splash range and the lens dry.
A cautious way to approach the quest
Do not enter traffic or an unstable surface for the angle, and never assume the depth or condition of a puddle from appearance alone.

- Does the bicycle need to be reflected in the puddle?
- No. The rule accepts a puddle, reflection or wet-surface detail with cycling context visible.
- Can I use another kind of wet reflection?
- Yes. A reflection or wet-surface detail can qualify when the image also shows the ride connection.
Look down as well as ahead and use one wet surface to create a more playful cycling image.
