This is a digitally enhanced picture where sky has been replaced and water reflection is added to create the balanced feel in the overall picture.
NOTE: Red baloon in the water has been cloned out as suggested by many viewers. Available print for this picture has the sun reflection but no red baloon in it. Thank you :)

They look like they are being lit by noon sunlight, not sunset light. The relflection of the sun in the water shouldn't be so defined either. If it is sunset it should be longer as well.


Yes the picture has technical faults in it 'coz there should actually be no reflection in the water. But the both the actual picture and the sky were taken mid day, so I thought they will do the justice. Sun was partially hidden by clouds and with slight change in hue & red filter, I was able to get this feel of sunset time colors. Its just how my imagination worked... am still learning by mistakes :) Thanks

I have sandwiched two pictures together in layers. This picture had a dull sky with blown out areas, so I selected another picture of mine with sun hiding partially under the clouds to replace the sky. Same sky was added in another layer and rotated to create reflection in the water. The red baloon is perhaps lobster trap and I had cloned it out in the available print for this picture. Thanks :)

The colors seem a little oversaturated and the reflection of the sun doesn't quite add up. However, the overall feel of the picture is good and there is a surreal feeling which I like.

I've been a photoshop geek for almost 10 years... and since you wanted the critique of a ps user... I will say that this picture is AWESOME!!!!!! I love what you've done to it. The red dot, eh didnt distract me much... didn't see it until i read comments. The sky looks gorgeous and the lighting is great. Wonderful job

Yes, the red dot must go. This pic reminds me of a miniature town. Very well done.

there is a very distracting red dot in the water

other than that, nice, surreal, kind of a fantasy shot
