I am putting together a calendar and these are some images I may put in it depending on the crits I get on them. I'm just not sure which one i should choose. I thought the first two looked like some sort of portal (think star trek episode)
Comments and crits welcome. Thanks
The only post work done to these photos were Levels adjustment, cropping and one small white spec I used clone tool on.
I'd say the first one.
But it looks unnatural. I'f you're trying to get a natural-type calendar, I would reccomend just getting a different pic. The third one just looks akward.

Is that unnatural in good way or bad? This calendar is a bit of a mix.
hmm guess the black and white ones are out. These 4 photos were a bit of an experiment to see what people think. Feel free to bash them if they aren't very good.
I prefer the regular form over the blue form.
And when I say Unnatural, I mean \"bad if it's a general nature theme, but good if it's a general mystical theme\".
I believe you composed the photo incorrectly, and therefore it can't be made to look \"natural\" because when the trees are the right way up, the surface retreats away from you at the bottom instead of the top. This makes it look like the water is sitting in a pool of water on the ceiling of a cave.
The image itself is very nice, and I like #1 the best, but I think everyone who sees it will know there is something wrong with it, even if they can't figure out what it is.
I'd have taken the photo without the trees reflected in the water, and then I'd have composited the trees into the surface of the water, from another photo.
