Nicely simple and one of the few times that level roof lines really would have detracted from a pic, in fact, it lends nicely to the art that may be present in a perspective piece and the watery impressionism filter you chose was just enough.
This fits my idea of the challenge..my only minor niggle is that the image is "cut off" at the bottom..however, if this is a true reflection and not PS..then I know from experience the difficulties you would face in that respect.
I am only commenting and using a place holder score during this pass.
This is very pretty. It's easy to see the photographer thought about the specs and sought out a pleasant place. The light building and light tree contrast well with the water and roof. A pleasure to look at.
Ah! the old "Reflection in the Lake" "Filter", eh?
The trees don't hang vertically, perhaps some kind of transform would have worked here. Good idea, though.
returning for comments:
Your selection of this uncluttered subject lends itself great to the effect. What is most interesting is that the ripple appears to run horizontal on the house and water and vertical on the tree's foliage. I realize this is only an apparant illusion. Very nice execution. Bumping up.
very nice effort, but unfortunately, it has the feeling of looking at a detail cropped out of a larger image. then again, you can't always control the size of the puddle. nice lighting and colors. balance of composition is off, though.
