Not What It Seems Idea #2

Messing around with another idea for my photography group's "Not What It Seems" topic. Thought about forced perspective ideas, wasn't enthused - and anyway, it was too wet and windy today. Thought about a scene using model climbers but didn't think I could justify the cost of buying some so resorted to a scene with our "Nessie", acquired during a Scottish boating holiday many years ago. Had several attempts but still not happy - improvised water has too many tiny highlights & I really can't be bothered to edit all of them out. Back to the drawing board, as they say. Still, a fun afternoon on a horrible day, weather-wise. Hope the rest of 2025 is better. Happy New Year, everyone!

PS - actually think it looks better in monochrome - see extra..
