Ripples of Sunset 30.3.12

Well the sunset was real enough - but there was no water! The sun was so strong and vivid I upped the shadow just a little...and was about to post it as it was to remember the wonderful sunsets this week. Then I remembered a photo I had seen Amanda @corymbia do a while back... went and played with a little processing tricks on Picnik (while I can) and behold - the field is now a lake. Amazing what you can do....!
@corymbia Loved your shot a little while back... I wonder if we did it the same way....? Anyway - thank you for the inspiration :)

@filsie65 heh - good one. I did mine on a photo I uploaded to my ipod and an app called "water my photo" which is actually crap because it has so many adds and is really hard to get along with.

Thank you so much, ladies. For the record, I uploaded it to Picnik, reversed it and turned it upside down, then added a ripple effect after playing with the wavelengths I saved it, created a collage by butting it up to the original (the black zone helped enormously!) and cropped it to even out the edges. The sunset was gorgeous it seemed a shame to mess about with it, but then bogof seemed a good deal too :)

Really lovely photo. I would add just a little sharpening just to make all those wonderful details in the trees pop, especially for the small size displayed here. Spectacular colours.

Oh Phil, you are really learning a lot about processing. This turned out just super! Love it. The original is lovely, but this is stunning. Great job.
