John A smashing idea. Needs a little more thought with the light source, (sun) and the boat. 1. It would be a shadow longer than the height of the mast given the low angle of the sun. 2. The angle of that shadow from the boat must be in a diagonal line from the sun. Plus it would be a silhouette and rippled not a mirror image. The light source on the grassed area would indicate another strong light source from behind. Makes the composite picture look totally false. This is after all a learning idea each learning from the other so that our manipulation techniques will improve all round.

My own image still has a lot of work to be done on it to make it more plausible and when you are working on your own photo's you don't always see the faults.
