In a reflective mood

Back to dull weather again so a little work was necessary on the computer to lift this from 'the dull' to the 'not so dull'.

Taken at Aberdour, Fife

I have been asked how I did it so here is a summary:

I had four close-ups of the rippling mast reflections and loaded them as 4 layers (one in the extras)
Mode: normal. Opacity set to 100% for bottom layer, 50% for second, 25% for third and 12% for the top layer.
Combined (new layer from visible) and adjusted curves. (see extras)
Opened a new image of yachts in the harbour (base layer) (see extras)
Imported the combined reflections as a new layer - set combine mode to 'difference'
Added a layer mask to this layer and introduced a bi-linear blend across the horizon. Painted the mask black to keep the hulls clean. (mask in extras)
Some final tidying up such as cloning out the half yacht on the left edge.
