Sunset and refliection

[terri36 7]

I wish I could have commented here before you spilled the beans; I just now saw this and my first impression was, "That horizon looks totally fake...but I love this image!" I kept looking at it wondering what in the world you did in post to get it to look that way. Like a graphic arts poster, or something. The only photographic part of it is the sky, right side of the frame.

Shoot, with my love of alternative processes, I don't mind stuff like this in the least - I just do most of mine by hand or in a darkroom. :razz:

Great job!

Thanks, Terri... I am still very much a noob when it comes to photoshop! Have a lot to learn! (I haven't been in a darkroom in about 25 years either... sort of miss it at times! Use to do a lot of E6! How is that for something useless to put on a resume! lol!)

Nice "fake" Charlie... Good shop job ....you should stay at home more.

I like the fact this image doesn't look too slick, and a moderately trained eye can pick out the "fake" parts.

Seriously, it looks like a painting. Maybe one of those happy accidents we photog/artists love?

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!

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

We stayed at Caves Branch in the jungle and then Blue Tang Inn on Ambergris Caye. Caves branch was a total blast! If we get another chance we'd still go there again and then maybe to one of the smaller cayes.You?

Nice! We stayed in Placencia the last trip.. it was really nice. Since it is basically split away from the mainland... no skeeters or other pests. Really pretty! We are thinking maybe going to Caye Caulker this year... not sure yet! Would love to go to Ambergris... but gotta watch the budget (and it is pretty touristy!) lol!

We really wanted to go there too! Mr Squirrels had his heart set on Placencia, but couldn't make it happen. I forget why, but I do remember those mosquitoes!

If we started a theme thread for these could it live in "photo themes", do you think?
