That's pretty cool, Don! It's a beautiful image. I don't think I would have caught the reflections.

Thanks Mike. Not sure people will actually "see" what they are "seeing" in this photograph unless they slow down and actually "look" at the image.

How bizzare, did you do this or is this the way it was..It's a beautiful capture either way, Don.

Brinn, this is a "created" photo. I took a sunset photo and duplicated the top and put it on the bottom, although I reversed the tree "reflections." There is no way this could be produced naturally. I agree with you, it is kind of bizzare, although I bet most people, when they originally look at the image, don't see that it is not real.

Awesome work on this Don! Love that you were able to reverse this. If one wasn't looking, they would probably not even notice. Great work!!!

Thank you Chris and Vladan. I submitted this image once before and it was not even slected for an "Editors Choice." This time when I submitted it, it wins a second place. Go figure. On the first go around the judges might have missed the fact that the reflection was not natural.

It is a fiendishly simple deception, but makes for a very convincing reflection shot. And of course, the silhouettes against that beautiful orange sky are terrific. Glad you chose to resubmit!

Don, I love this image, and at first I did not even noticed, wow, how cool is that! Can you direct me to something (a class, a book) where I can learn to use PS in a more creative way?

Maria, thank you for your very kind comments. I learned PS by taking a course with a local photographer so I don't have a good direction to send you. I know there are tutorials on the subject. You might also try a local college. Also check with a local photo club for possibilities. In fact, I am a great believer in photo clubs -- if you are not a member -- then join one. It will be the best photographic experience you can do.

Congratulations Don! I can see the "Reflection" competition at this month's GCC meeting is going to be tough for the Advanced group!! This is beautiful, and no, I didn't notice the switched reflection until I read your comment on the photo's page! You are a master.

Thank you Serena. I have not even started to think about the reflection category for this month's GCC competition, but you are right. This image would fit.
