Default The Grand Illusion

I was amazed at how all the reflections in this picture and the calmness of the water makes the dock look like it's floating in thin air. What do you think??

You're right... it's like the dock looks like the only thing real and the rest is a green screen or painting. VERY cool shot and beautiful scenery, you lucky dog!

Yeah I can see that.....if you put some big letters out on the end, it would look like a billboard on the side of a road when looked at this way.
