Description
I have been wanting to do another picture with a mountain reflecting in a lake.
I did this one this morning, and it's OK, but honestly, it seems something is off, and I cannot pinpoint it. What have I omitted or forgotten?
Opinions and advise wanted on this one.
It just doesn't look right to me.
Thank you for helping me out.
Have a great day!!!

wonderful start, tiny suggestion, your lake is great, coloring is wonderful, but perhaps a wee bit of smudging to get the 'ripple' sort of effect you see in most lakes. :) otherwise it's another awesome pic!!!
Beautiful Work Vikki! Looks real good to me, maybe a little ripple on the surface of the water, but other than that Super Excellent and a V.
I think the water looks fine. Since the mountain touches the lake.. you need as much reflection of the mountain (size) as you have mountain (size). Notice the mountain in the reflection is very small compared to the actual mountain? Make them the same size.. Then add water and ripple effects... waalaa... perfect! I might push the mountain back a bit and make it greenish to look like vegetation, since your pattern already looks a lot like trees etc... Oh, the Sky and foreground are fantastic and perfect already. Beats anything I can do with just a paint program! Bravo! Dave :^) V
Ya thats it, I agree with Dave on the reflection.other than that its PURRREFECT!V
