Look at your source pic...the reflection could look more realistic, fading out at the bottom.

Spectacular! Only one thing was flipped. The reflection just matched accordingly!

The opacity of the water reflection needs to be turned down a little, as it over powers the rest of the photo.

yes, I agree with losing the moon..........the aurora is enough!

i completely agree with greymval, you did a great job on the 'northern lights' so have the focus on that. I would go even further and dull the stars a little too.

The moon is well reflected, but i vote for no moon. I think you introduced it to make the composition more interesting, but now it's a competition between the moon and the aurora borealis, and the image lost it's focus center. IMO the ship and Aurora would be more than enough.

cmyk............not at all...........the moon will be reflected just the same as the mountains will be reflected, as far as the water is concerned, the moon is the same level as the mountains.

elficho says:

well, then i guess i must have misinterpreted the image.. the plane and the zeppelin seem one next to each other which is obviously impossible due to their sizes.. i think seperating the red plane from the zeppelin a bit more might help. in this image the zeppelin is farthest away, right? i dunno, that little plane looks like it's very far, but it's too big i think the sharpnes and blur play a role here.. the zeppelin is sharper than the red plane and i think there's the conflict. that black plane is too sharp too imo.
also, you could contract the zepp and the red plane by a pixel or so to get rid of the white outline.
i hope i have been helpful, author

i think some people need to remember that with art, and themes, we should use the theme as a starting point, not a finishing point, what i mean is this author has followed the theme very well by creating "old maps" beyond that, this author has also taken the time to place those "old maps" into an everyday "real" scene, it is my opinion , that this type entry is far better than an entry that only makes the "old map" and displays it as a flat image ,
