Shot this while mountain biking around the lake. The lake was built a few years ago to supply water for Southern California.

A cool surreal treatment Chip. Love the palette, love the composition and especially love that water.

Cool view. Almost looks like a CGI image. Very good image.

I agree with the first Russ, this does look like a render. Very clean and sharply defined.

Excellant use of light and shadow. It's a beauty.

Not bad.

Oh, sorry ... yeah ... I'm still here ... dropped my jaw somewheres around here ...

:oP

Beautiful shot Chip.

Bit different from you, insofar as what I have been fortunate to see of your work.

If I may get this out of the way (and buy some time to look up some new descriptors :oP)... what kind of lens did you shoot this with?

I don't want to use the term 'barreling', as it is not the most appropriate I don't think ... however, the curvature of your image here ... uhm, how? lol

At first I wasn't sure if that visual element (real or just perceived on my part) added some value or no.

Think this one is just about creating a feel and mood, which you have done wonderfully. The suspension of disbelief no longer becomes a matter of consideration.

Huh ... so these are the kind of shots you can get while mountain biking, eh?

C'mon ... now your just showing off. :oD

It really is a gorgeous shot. Would have loved to have seen this firsthand ... but of course, your image will do nicely. :o)
