Taken from outerspace... the thawing lakes on Mars due to global warming offer a great reflective surface for shooting planet Earth! I considered putting this in the weekend challenge, but was worried the interplanetary mothership wouldn't return in time.
On a more serious note, I am concerned about the impact of human pollution and the rising temperatures on this mothership, planet Earth. Global warming is NO sci-fi illusion, but a very real threat to the well-being of millions of lives on this planet, including human lives.
My thanks to my post-processing tutor, my son, Thomas (DPC "Zoomdak") who guided me into the strange sci-fi world of photoshop layers/filters/effects!

This is a photo that soft focus works very well for. I love the colors, composition and reflection. There is nothing you could do better. You get one of my VERY few perfect 10s
I like the artistic direction you went here but I can't help but feel a little disappointing that you used the flood filter. It makes the image only half yours so to speak.
Even though the water looks nice, I would really like to know what the base photograph is, this to me is not very photographic in nature and just seems very digitally created.
I like this but i wouldve liked it better if the earth was sharper. i think i realize the look you were going for but for just my personal taste i wouldve liked to see it different. Still a great image though. Good Luck! 8
