Had a real hard time blending the two images. I've done it about six

times now and I'm still not sure if it looks right. What do you

think.........????

Wow! This one has everything, colours, tree mountains and even foreground. I love the slight ripple on the water that just makes for a slightly different texture in the reflections. 

Maybe crop the extreme right (tree at the top an stones at bottom) ?

Sincere Compliments!

I don't know if I would have noticed if you hadn't said something, but on second look the tops of the yellow trees at left center catch my eye.   Regardless, a gorgeous scene, beautifully presented....  Mike

Hi Alf.... this one was a challenge to process. I considered cropping on the right but it put the mountain peak too close to the edge for my liking. It's good to hear from you.

Mike.... those yellow aspens were a problem with the blend. If they were dark green like the pines they would have been easier to mask and paint around but being lighter toned it was impossible to keep the two images from bleeding together. Thanks Mike...

A beautiful result with very nice lighting and reflections, Fred!

Beautiful landscape. Looks like a post card. Congrats.

Thanks Ruud

Thank you too Raymond

Great image Fred!  I'm with Mike, if you had not mentioned it I would not have known.  

Fred,   I thought I commented on this image the other day; maybe a forgot to click on confirm.   Wonderful reflection, light, and DOF.  The colors of the sky, distant mountains and trees work well.  I guess if I were to change something here, I would delete the brush and object in the far right corner.  I have had good luck with the content aware tool in CS6.   Nice image.  Compliments. Larry

Dominick..... Thank you sir.

Larry..... Your right. I was so focused on making the blend work that I overlooked that brush. I'm also not happy with that funny looking blue in the upper right. Thanks for your comments.
