 Sorry Jeff, thanks for pointing it out. I can't remember if I slammed this in at the deadline and didn't have time to write comments.

This was taken early one morning with Scarbrd and Zoomdak. This is Thomas (Zoomdak) shooting a shot. The real picture actually has a fair amount of mirror, but it isn't as clear as what I could obtain with Flood. The secret, I believe, to expert editing, is not to get greedy. You want imperfections and natural looking lines to let people believe it's real.

Nicely composed. Maybe the reflection could have been darkened just a tad to contrast more against the sky. (just my opinion though)

That's a very lavender-coloured day there. The colour shift seems pleasant enough as does the composition.

Nice shot - Like the tones - Good composition - Black border is a little thick and distracting.
