Surreal and quite interesting......could look at it for hours and still be interested by the crazy juxtaposition of the ripples going into the trees on the far shore.

The beauty of the reflection in the lake of the beautiful sunsetEditing
YES, the ripples are fake and created in Photoshop, I also added some softness to the edges of the ripples giving this image a satin feeling or look, and highlights along the top of the ripples. This is a great image matted and framedIn my camera bag

To create something like this you need to first start off with a great shot that feels right to you. Then, experiment in your darkroom program, I use Photoshop, although there are others you can use. experiment and work at it until you find something that has a unique look. The other thing I suggest is to SHOOT<SHOOT<SHOOT and take notes, remember what and how you did the shot!
