Mirrored Landscape

Inspired by Gustav Willeit
A mirrored landscape with added asymmetry

This is a shot of Hay Bluff in the Brecons, copied and flipped.
I added the bird and a gradient to alter the lighting.

Any comments gratefully received

Welcome to TP

Now that I really like I think that it's made a rather striking images the fact that it's not an exact mirror makes it for me

from me too.
Your brain can tell that there's something not quite right with it, but the added asymmetry fools you into not seeing it as a mirror image straight away - it gives it a kind of eerie otherworldly feel.

Really good piece of PP work and I love the end result.
I think you could possibly add a touch more drama with some selective dodging and burning. Maybe bring up the dark areas in the foreground a touch and darken down the shadow areas in the clouds. Just a gentle touch - pushing it too far would lose some of the character for me. But overall . . .

p.s. Welcome aboard.
