My entry for the iconic photo challenge - It's my version of The Pond - Moonlight by Edward Steichen, famous for being the most expensive photograph ever sold in 2006.
I stayed true to the challenge rules and didn't look at the original while I was working on it - end result is a bit messy in places and could probably do with a couple more hours work but I got bored and the deadline was looming...
It kind of looks like an old Sierra adventure game background to me.
FlyGuy: I wonder if the whole thing might have benefitted from straight lines, the near and far shores as well, not just the tree line... Something to bare in mind if I ever do something similar.
The only correction I would advise, is to make the tree line flatter. Yours seems to bend upward in a semi circle manner. The original was a straight line horizon. Good work otherwise.
Shiru: Yeah, the reflections at the edges are definetly off - I added more trees at one point and then I forgot to mirror them in the reflections... Maybe due a revision at some point.
