This was a flooded field and the clouds were great after the storm. I liked the trees reflecting at the other end of the water.
Is this a composite: No
Phone shot. I flipped the image so the trees are right side up and I cropped to take out the grasses on the top. Made some adjustments to contrast and saturation and highlights.
I find this quite nice, but if it were me I’d add a little blur to the top third, to keep it more on the dreamy side. For me, the image quality of the more in-focus detail there is not pleasing.
Real nice reflection. I agree with @Diane_Miller on the blur or you could crop it to pano to keep the whole image more abstract and dreamy.
I like @Harley_Goldman 's suggestion to consider a crop to a panoramic aspect ratio 16x9. I think it would simplify the image and place more emphasis on the long row of tree reflections.
Thanks for your feedbacks!
So I did a pano crop as you suggested…
Raven the crop works quite well indeed. Nice work.
Yes, much more mysterious and engaging now! I’d still take a bit more off the top to get rid of the few darker streaks.
The rework improves this significantly.
