Picture copy attempt -
I attempted to copy on of John Paul Caponigro's picture of clouds and water. It was hard to find clouds because most of the days were full clouds. This is actually of a sunset I took a picture of when It wasn't cloudy one day. I put it into photoshop, and flipped a layer to give it a mirror effect. I thought i couldn't put an ocean in there because there are no oceans herein Wisconsin. So instead I cropped an old picture of a river and blew it up and put it in the picture, It almost looks like ocean water, but a few things are off, such as: theres a visible solid area where it was cropped off, and there's no waves. I tried my best to edit out the straight edge but I couldn't. I then put up the brightness on the edge of the water to give a horizon effect to it. Overall I think I did good trying to copy his work :)
