Reflections

[GB1]

An old abandoned restaurant at the Salton Sea. The water was calm enough to catch this scene. I'm not sure if I should have flipped it for art's sake? Eh, why not -- attached as a smaller image.

Comments appreciated.

Not bad at all but for me it doesn’t look like water, I think you should also emphasize the water, the reflection of an old restaurant. So that it will look better.

Hmmmmmmm? Throw a pebble in just before clicking?

Really? You guys think that it would be better to disturb the water? I thought it was somewhat of a plus to get one this perfectly clear (guess not).

Love the mirror image effect.A ripple would work for 1 shot only.
Nice catch. well composed, #2 " the flip " is a great one.
I like it

I like it as it is.... looks unreal... :thumbsup:

Thks for the comments. Hmm.. perhaps 'before the ripple' and 'during the ripple' shots right next to each other would have worked nicely. Food for thought.

these look good together. i must say though, i was so confused when i first looked at the both of them. they're almost a reflection of eachother.
You could try a ripple effect in PS. i don't know if it's a good idea, but it's worth a shot

The ripple effect is a great idea, but I can't get the freaking thing to work :blush2: I guess I have a ways to go on PS.

Here's a few expts I did come up with. Not what I intended, but fun anyways...............

i like the orignal the best, and i think the ripple effect would be great but alittle strong and like you said not what you intended but its better than what i would have done hahah nice shot all around

yeah, i tried it too, i can't make it work.
just go back an throw a rock, thattl make it ripple.
and i'm still not sure a ripple is a good idea, just something to try
