Description

Many art competitions took awards, my favorite was 3rd place in a watercolor competition, when the judge was told it was a photograph he withdrew my award; however, the gallery reinstated the award. I also received numerous questions as to how this was captured, and once explained all understood! Well except maybe one photographer that said it had to be a photo shopped image.

Look at the base of Kassie's legs and you will see a wood bench that she is standing onand she appears to be underwater because I walked to the opposite side of this lake, climbed a ladder and told her to strike a pose. She opened her arms as shown and yelled: "Like what?" I told her that is it we are done!. This is merely her reflection in the lake and framed to hang upside down. Look at it upside down and see this is merely a reflection of Kassie. As to photo shopping this image? 35 MM Kodak Gold 400 Color Film and the negative has the exact same image.
