Firework Reflections

Uploaded: November 15, 2006

Description

Taken during the Guy Fawkes celebrations at Leeds Castle in Kent, UK. Although surrounded by a moat I couldn't get the spot needed for a full reflection so using the magic of photoshop I added the water with the flood filter plugin. The exposure was 8 seconds at f/11, ISO 100.

Wow! First I was mesmerized by this picture, evrything about it is amazing, then I went into your gallery, I almost pooped my pants! Just amazing. I just started with this hobby a few months ago, I would certainly appreciate some suggestions from a professional as yourself.
Again, wow, what a collection of photographs! Beautiful! #557448

I like this image because the photographer used the tools in the digital darkroom to create an image as seen in their mind's eye. #3757309
