Mirrored Bliss by quaffapint

LakeMichigan: Congratulations on your placing in the Simplicity contest.

nuke88: whoooow love this, just my style, i love this one!!

quaffapint: Thanks very much for the comments!

As far as the noise, you're right, I didn't notice it before. I think it got introduced in the HDR processing. I used Zoner Photo Studio to clean up the noise a bit, you can see the result here...
