Description

Look how the sun's reflection on the water is related to its position in the sky. It's about 5 degrees to the left of vertical. I used the camera zoom - not exaggerated but enough to cause this effect. Just a lesson learned. Thanks for looking in!

Nice lesson! Now what I want to know is how do you make clouds which are brown and green in different parts of the same image! Cool terrain!

A lesson in orientation. This is a beautiful piece of artwork Rich. Both; the atmosphere and terrain/water combine for an outstanding picture.

Wow...5 degrees to the left of vertical is how my mind works...what a coincidence...:). In one of my images "Antartic Blues" the reflection is shifted way over...I thought it was different but, no one commented on it. Here...it adds depth and reality to this excellent image!

Wouldn't have noticed the aberration had you not mentioned it. Wonderful golden sunlight, and excellent surfacing and dof.

Although the way I see it, this is correct because the reflection should be between your eye and the light source and not necessarily vertical. Excellent image though!
