cruise ship

"The seagull leaves the party cruise to go back to where she belongs..."

I'm probably getting carried away with this reflection stuff, but I'm having fun. I also spent an hour or so today on Jerry Uelsmann's site and got very inspired by some of his great creative imagery.

This image is comprised of five layers. The moon, cruise ship, and water were all created entirely in PhotoShop. The sky comes from the Atlantic Ocean and the bird from the Florida Gulf Coast. This is perhaps too unreal for NPN, but I respect the opinions I get here. Thanks for your comments and critiques. Happy Labor Day to those in the US and see you next week.

Marc, this is an incredible bit of creativity. I very much like the concept, each element you have inserted, the position of that element and the B&W. My only suggestion would be to make the cruise ship just a wee bit larger as I didn't even realize it was there until I read your description.

Very creative image Mark I like this a lot. I see why you want us to look at the large image the bigger it gets the better it looks. This ought to make a nice large print. :toast: Jack

Love this Marc. Great foresight and implementation. Don't think you need the cruise ship at all.
