Boat with Photoshopped Refection in the Water

This is 100% Photoshop practice and demonstration of the things that can be done with Photoshop. Starting with this photo of a boat on the water, I used Photoshop's "clone source" to create a reflection in the water. The hardest part has been to get it so that the reflection doesn't look totally fake and as if the boat is sitting in the water rather than on top of the water.

Red Boat at Shelley Beach

Shelley Beach is located on Waiheke Island a short 30 minute "Quick Cat" ferry ride from downtown Auckland, NZ. While staying there this past February I caught these seagulls availing themselves of this boat on the bay. It was early morning and the water had a beautiful glassy appearance.
