    I am confuse Anna Maria....mainly because I am not that smart.....
    The water and reflection is real right?
    Or is it an effect?
    Either way it is GORGEOUS! Wow if water and reflections can be added at will, then sky is the limit.

    The comp is all real including the reflections, light, etc.. I just put a bit of a paint effect over the pic. We were in a canoe -and so- the image was not tac sharp but I liked the reflection... so thought I could salvage it just a bit with a painterly feel. It will work on a greeting card but I need another trip out there to try again with tripod if I can find a place where I won't sink! sorry for the confusion -- and you are smarter than the average squirrel mwink.gif

    Thanks for clarifying Anna Maria! Yes, my reaction is same as Denise......it was completely Joyous to see desert reflected in water.....especially because we don't expect it.
    So it is wonderful and sharpness is not an issue.
    Yes, you need to go back and bring bunch more!
    Bravo!

    Terrific shot. Whatever magic you sprinkled around in PP work really paid off for you. I've never seen a picture where cacti, so far in the distance, stand out so well. It's a special image.thumb.gif

    Very nice! With this image, I'm not sure that greater sharpness would be an improvement.

    Love the suprise of cacti reflected in water and the bright green color of the cacti standing out against the landscape and marching into the distance. Thanks for sharing this shot!

    Cheers, Sara

    I would try a portrait view of the right half imo, get that water glassy.
