"Only a Reflection"

"Don't worry, it's only a reflection," said Grandpa . ^_^ . . .

Here's the original .

I like the original better from the artistic point of view, but I like a your idea and implementation a lot, funny!

intresting idea.. but doesnt look original to me.. is it manipulated? Anyways, idea is good!! 5/6

Very cool

I do not know how to do composites to make wonderful images like this one. Wish I could learn then I too could WOW the pants off people like me who say, wish I could do that!

Now your're making me laugh! Is that Howard in the boat? LOL I like the way the one man is turning to look! You're so creative! What an imagination! Nicely done!

the way you mirrored the reflection makes it look like a carpet, in this context like a flying carpet?

Wahh! i got a long ways to go to achieve your standard. Very good. :0)

Magic and creative.

Un EXCLENTE TRABAJO.. perfecta la luz y encuadre,, felicidades,,, un cordial saludo.

Yeah - you got carried away here ... but it's a lot of fun anyway! :-D Are you going to share the original images with us?

You are on a creative roll. Love it!

Creative and beautiful composition playing with reflections!!

yea but can you discribe how you got the idea in the 1st place LOL. technical i can do, ideas... blah.. empty. :0/

Oh dear Wilson! You are such a wiz with a camera I wondered why oh why would you post all these PS creations. Don't get me wrong. They are good.

 

I think the answer must be that you are cheering us all up for Christmas!

 

Thanks!

Thank you all so far for your feedback. Appreciate them all. Yes, this is manipulated (please do check tech detail.) Always glad to share in case somebody wants to know (pardon me if you already know ^_^.) Here's the original. Howard, you can do it.These are the steps . . .

Distort, cut, paste, flip, etc. as you like . . .

Merge as needed. Here's one going different direction . . .

 

Select subject matter . . .

Clean up, and add some splashes . . .

 

Lou Ann, I guess I did get a little carried away, but heck, got to be well rounded, right? Have to balance natural images with some PS stuffs, no?

 

David, have to say this is a lot more fun during dreary winter days up here in this corner of the country. Hope it did cheer you up, wherever you are now!

A magic carpet ride? Fun image, Wilson, and very imaginative. I love using PS as much as taking "normal" pictures.

Very original Wilson.

Thanks, Kim and Tony for checking this out. ^_^
