I'm not great with reflections, but i'm fairly sure the tree wouldn't reflect on the water..other than that it;s a good image with a very nice atmosphere.

I think the POV would allow the balloon to reflect in the water, but that's just my opinion. However, I think the white boat wouldn't have such a dark reflection. Anyway, it's a good image.

Great mood, but the reflection wouldn't look like that. You reflected the above part of the grass now, but that could never be reflected by the water thats underneath it. You can't see the back of your head when you look in a mirror A small reflected line of the grass should be visible, it should be high as the height of the grass. Also create a layer over the reflection with a blueish fill and set it to overlay because the color of the water should at least come a little through. Good Luck!

@Ressiv: I really appreciate the comment, but I disagree with the reflection. The further the reflection gets from shore the more you'll be able to see in the distance. I've looked at many reflection pictures and all of them have shown the objects in the background. Here is just one example. http://www.flickr.com/photos/imagonovus/3288806218/. Again, thanks for the comment and taking the time to view my entry. Keep up the good work.

This is an awesome image with great color and perfect saturation. Your reflection of the baloon is incredible but I have to agree with ponti55 on the tree reflection. I think it's way too far back to have a reflection in the water. I never would have noticed it if he didn't say anything...shame on you ponti55..LOL

Author, the link you posted also looks like a bad photoshop. Take a look at this photo, it shows exactly what I mean http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3071/2879935420_80b3cdb7a3.jpg
