Composite Reflected Geese

As I mentioned our photoclub competition next week is "reflections". I made a composite and faked the reflections here. Do you think it worked OK? Suggestions?
Thanks for your visits, comments, suggestions, favs

I would have never known! Nice work!

Beautiful

Really clever, just goes to show what can be done! Sadly Snapseed offers me the bare minimum :-)

Had me fooled, I would not have known if you had not mentioned it

I think this is beautiful. I bought photoshop elements 6 weeks ago but no time at all to play because I am always on here commenting and uploading. The only processing I can do at the moment is in Picasa. I really must find some time because it seems people can do amazing things.

Indeed! I was completely fooled. Great processing.

I was totally fooled.
February 28th, 2014  
That's great processing. I wouldn't have known either. What software did you use?

@kwiksilver photoshop. Took a REALLY long time!

Thanks Jane, but not for me then! Not yet, anyway! ;)
But it was time well spent!

This is wonderful and has worked really well. Had me fooled. Love the golden tones too.

Wow- very nicely composed and timed!!

You got me... they really look as reflections. Love it.

Your composite skills are impeccable. I bet no one would have guessed it. Well done.

@rvwalker You made my day! I've NEVER done anything anywhere near this difficult. I had to create the water in the middle of the shot (vertically) and get rid of about 50 tiny geese whose proportions would have given me away! Oh, and I added sky to the top for balance not to mention sicking the flying geese into the photo and flipping and blurring for the reflection.

@rvwalker do you think I should have darkened the trees in the background so the geese wuld show up better?

@jgpittenger What a tough job! You did great.

Wonderful composition Jane.
