Nice shot. I spent 5 minutes staring at it trying to figure out what that line is...mountains in the distance? Then I reconsidered. At next glance I thought of an infinity pool overlooking the Pacific? What is it?
If this piece was hanging at a museum, it would definitely stop me for a couple minutes.

I like this one, too! :thumbup::thumbup:

It could be the most serene apocalyptic vision I've ever seen.

Looks like a daytime Von Gogh. pretty intense.

Now I feel bad! You are all very kind to make comments like this. There is a reason I put this in just for fun! It a photoshop job... a total fake. I have been home sick for like 5 days... bored stiff. Today was the first day I felt like doing more than an occasional post with lots of napping! So I saw that thread earlier on Abstract Landscapes, and decided to play with that idea. I took one of my Belize sunrise shots that I had never posted here... and cut the sky out, flipped it vertically, set it as a reflection, and then hand painted the horizon in. I tweaked it a little bit.. and then made an abstract of it, and posted it in the Abstract landscape thread. I decided to post this in the Just for Fun area... to see what comments I would get. Thank you... and I wasn't really trying to fool anyone... I apologize!

It came from this shot...

You shouldn't feel bad! I'm impressed with your horizon painting skills. Also Mr. Squirrels and I were there some years ago, and Belize is the best!

ETA: The extra abstracty version is my favorite.

Yep.. that is one of the shots I got in Belize.

No need for apology.

Artists use different brushes to make their art. Doesn't make it less art because of the brush you used. The end result is what matters.

This is a nice image. The creamy pastels complement the glass like reflection well.

I agree... it is a wonderful place! What part did you go to?

Majeed... Thank! I appreciate it!

The first would be good on a wall of a waiting room in a doctors office. I much prefer the original.

Ron, thanks! I never did anything with the original... I thought it was weak compared to some of the other shots I got. I appreciate it!
