A Test

There is something about this image that I am not telling you about. I want to see if you guys can point it out. If someone gets it I will fess up, if no one gets it after awhile I'll come clean anyway...

Hi Almo:

I will guess that it is not one image; you have combined one shot of the moon (and added the moon reflection on the water perhaps in a third step) with another shot of the bridge.

Damn!

I didn't think it was that obvious. I know it looks a little off balance, but the images line up on a part that was pure black on both. I even cranked up the levels in PS to see if there was a seam, and nothing.

Oh well. Thanks for replying!

Here are the originals...

Just a lucky guess!

The reflection of the moon on the left looks wrong.
I can't see the join, but I guess it's two images put together.

The wider reflection has to go.
Then it would look more plausible.

The reflection should be the same distance below the waterline as the moon is above it.
Then allow a bit for the blur of the reflection caused by the ripples.

The lights on the horizon line look a little too low compared to the vanishing point of the bridge.

The faint reflection from the orange light between the bridge and the moon is at the wrong angle, it looks like it's from the right of an image, not the left.
