.........and everything is not always as it seems, we all have illusions! :) ....in fact there is no water here - I took the photograph in Lyme Park - another tree silhouette, but this time I have added a manipulated water reflection. I am experimenting - hope you like it!

Patti, this image seems so real, think it was even better not telling the thruth to us, lol. Perfect manipulation. Really excellent work!

Now if you hadn't told me I would NEVER have guessed this was a manip. It's a very beautiful image, the diagonal is very strong and the trees are just perfect for this treatment. That's 10/10 from me!

It's lovely to see you experimenting! You've done very well on the reflections, adds a new twist to this beautiful image. Now, why isn't there any water at Lyme Hall? Don't they allow it? LOL :)

I never would have guessed either, that it was a manip. Beautiful. The top half is a gorgeous silhouette of the tree, and the bottom half looks like an abstract of the tree. Very nice.

This is a gorgeous image...but, looking at it closely, I think the trees are too far away to have cast the shimmering reflections in the water. Maybe just the tops would have been visible. Still, I really like it and saved it.
