PINE REFLECTION

This is an inverted reflection of pines in a flooded meadow. PP included Topaz Buz Zim and a light canvas texture. I'll slip a theme image in under the wire.

I like the idea of flipped reflections, so this is appealing because of that. Although the trees and the grasses in the lower right are now upright, the other grasses are upside down, and that produces great visual tension. The green tones coupled with your application of Simplify is a plus. Good job in seeing this and processing the image.

Funny, I flipped it and liked it better! I like the effect of Topaz on the grasses with its' subtle additions of colour. Well seen.

Funny, I flipped it and liked it better! . . .

I hadn't tried that, but I agree. I think it's because the grasses look better at the bottom than the top.

I wish I had tried flipping back to the original. I also prefer this version after the Topaz application. It's the fg grass that makes the difference. Thanks Jackie and Dennis.

Hi, Gary, I like what you've done with this. You could also use the OP and crop most of the grasses off the top, leaving the wispy ones on the left for a different look On the OP there is one diagonal piece of grass and it's reflection about 2/3 up on the left hand side that should probably be eliminated. It's not as prominent on the repost.

I like both versions. Creative and nice work. The grasses add the extra touch.
