    I'd like to know how you get the smooth gradiation in this shot. After the capture, I mean.

    Ps?
    Nice shots Jody. I was wondering...Are all of the reflection shots post-processing?

    I think he was referring to a plugin from Flaming Pear called Flood. It will add a reflection to your picture that looks like water. Pretty cool. Do a Google search for flaming pear flood.

    I ran Imagenomic's Noiseware program on the background.

    All of the reflections are natural. They were taken at a sewage lagoon. I was lying on the ground as close to the water as possible.

    Thanks! :)
