That gave me a good laugh, poor old Windermere.

Wow thats got some impact. Am I right in thinking that you have replaced the lake with that part of the sea which surounded the ship?

No John

Just cut out the ship and left a little of the original wake on it - move tool on to the Lake pic - selected the ship in its layer scaled and rotated it - flattened image then cloned in the lake and scenery up to the hull.

You can see the wake I left in.

Thanks for the details Prostie, an impessive result.

Is there any way to extend the turbulence up the lake? Otherwise I don't think that this works as well as it could. The picture with the destroyer works because my eye focuses on the ship but on this one I find myself looking across the water just as I would across the wake of a boat to the smooth water beyond and that says boat wake not storm to me. Or am I misunderstanding what you are trying to create?

I re-discovered Picasa by Google. It's free photo software that's really easy to use. I like the collage feature demonstrated in the pics below. You just pick five or six pictures, and it does it for you!

I agree with your comments re the placid water further up the lake-and around the church. I was caught up in a force 11 gale a couple of years ago and this image was one of the smaller waves. I merely wanted the unlikely effect on Windermere but did not wish to drown out most of it with waves. The destroyer, a great image, added to that effect.
