Lighting

 

 Distorted Reflection:

 In this image the light projected from the sky is reflecting off the water, giving a mirror like affect to it's surroundings. You can see the trees and other foliage reflecting into the water based from the reflected light off that surface. However, the slight distortion is related to the surface in which the light is reflecting off of. In this case, the water is not a flat surface, it has ripples and waves which distort the light that reflects off of it. Making the mirror image not so accurate.

 

 Bounced Light:

In this image you can see light reflecting on the floor's surface. This light changes depending on the surface on which it is reflecting from. Within this image the surface of the floor is solid and gives off that 'shiny' appeal. With the intensity of that light, it then bounces off other objects or surfaces within the room. You can see this happening in multiple areas of the scene, such as the frame of the window, the walls to the left and the arches of the seats. Bounced light is being projected across the entire room.

Subsurface Scattering:

In this image, light is being absorbed by this leaf because of it's properties. The light inside the structure is then scattered across every part of it, transferring light to every pinnacle. Because of the way the leaf is made, it's properties, surface and density will depend on how much light can be absorbed.
