I am enjoying how much fun everyone is having. Why not one with Nessie swimming by?  This is what I ended up with. I used a stock photo then adjusted the hue/saturation. Applied a Gaussian blur with a gradient leading out to the horizon. Added a pixel layer and overlaid white to blend in with the horizon. What do you think?

Actually its the Light keepers quarters at the Pt. Reyes light house.  It sits quite a bit above the water which was the reason for the fence in the first place.

Yes, and I should have said it before... @mberger, very cool shot!! Annnd, sorry, for messing with it.
(personally I've got quite too much to do 😳, so, thanks for the diversion. Back to work.)

@mberger. Welcome to the Forums on a cold winter Sunday with loads of people (definitely including yours truly) with not much else to do!!  😷🤪🤔🥶😊

Well my goodness, I guess I started something! After I have my coffee I will get to work on all the suggestions.  I have never used those filters or techniques that have been suggested so I have a lot to learn.  Thanks everyone for the help.

Just reinstalled the collection and went through the whole process from scratch and problem solved!
