    Taken the other evening when we had one of those rare nice evenings.

    Really nice, peaceful sunset photo. I like it. I wonder if cropping 15-20% off the bottom would be an improvement??

    There’s a strange optical illusion near dead centre of the horizon. 1 mark for spotting it – 10 for explaining it.

    I guess you mean the piece of land that appears to be sticking out over the water?

    I can think of 4 options in increasing likelyhood:
    1) atmospheric diffraction, like a mirage
    2) it’s a tree line with sparse trunks and dense foliage
    3) a not quite perfect attempt at cloning
    4) it’s a beach, lighting post processing and compression made the sand look the same colour as the mountains.

    Crikey! I couldn’t even think of one possible explanation. Good for you.

    Ah sure when someone throws down the gauntlet and all that . . .

    It’s a nice shot too, I love the subtlety of the sky, it’s smoothness contrastred with the texture in the water. I would be tempted to try to tone down the red in the water, bring back just a little of the blue, or maybe just to make the lighter points of the water a bit more neutral.
