Interesting and captivating composition.  The look of the scene and the reflection are attractive and the symmetrical nature of the image works well.  I like the shape and lines created by the tree.  Very nice work on the processing to get an attractive and appealing look to your image.

this looks great, but unfortunately, too obvious a duplicate, reversed image..........the tree surely looks good, but in the water it should always bee a bit darker.......great try! Jacline

There are people who like to see perfection to be happy.
There are those who like only natural and regard post processing as alteration or worst, a cheat...
I like to see what pleases my senses.
Once in a while I encounter an image that makes such deep impact that remains with me for rest of life, what I love and not simply like. Here is one in front of me.
I don't care if this has flaw, don't care if it is result of PP or what not, this is one original work at its best, like one not been seen before.
Congratulations Deniz.

This is an interesting fake, but ultimately still too fake. What if you took the tree and mirror image, put it on a solid background, and rotated it 90 degrees clockwise. All you would need is something for the head, and you could have a 'tree butterfly.'

If the reflection had been flattened a bit or compressed and the branch on the right was cleaned up where the "reflection" goes up into the sky, it might have worked, Not to mention getting a waterline on the trunk. Otherwise it's quite eyecatching, fake or not.

HI, Deniz, this is such a beautiful view you have captured here. Very nice, indeed, and such a great reflection in perfect symmetry. Possibly a little oversharpened, but excellent light and colour, and a good composition, too. You have done a great job here, my friend. My compliments.

This is a very beautiful, creative composition! The tree is really fabulous, and you found a creative way to isolate it and enhance its beauty within a balanced, harmonious composition. What was originally in the foreground?

A perfect reflection and good colours. I can feel the coldness. The only think to critisize is, that that photo seems not to have the last sharpness. But I think, thats because of the lots of small branches. So, I have all the time problems, if I´m donwsizing a photo like that. Regards Harald

Fantastic Reflection. I like the colors and the sharpness of the photo especially the water being so still. The only problem is the disturbing background. regards, Mohammad

Hi, IMO it should be better to write to users that this is a software mirror and not a magnific reflection as people think ... you can enjoy as you prefer - this is an amusing image for me - but i have preferred to see your comment first ... this isn't a simple photoretouch but a virtual composition, may be usefull to say it but this is only my opinion

Yes Alessio, this is totally a digital reflection, ( a reverse copy & paste ). but as the title goes, this is a dream , not real life. I liked the structure of the tree, but with the disturbing foreground it was not a "very" preferable shot. So I decided to make a digital software touch. I've admitted this issue in my first submission. If you ask my opinion, photography is actually an art, not only to catch "the moment" but make "the moment" a remarkable one.
