Yes, it is a reflection and not a tree growing into the sky.
A tree reflected in the lake or an emerging creature lurking in the primeval soup?
And a last reflection – a graceful swan gliding over the serene evening lake.

That’s a lovely shot of the swan and I really like that slider effect

Great reflections! That slider is very cool. I only found out how to do that by accident.

It works with some photos. When I did this: https://picturesimperfectblog.com/2024/11/02/noise-muffling/ the other day I found that I had taken a photo of the tree from more or less the same position – two years apart. But sometimes it’s very fiddly work to get the pics to blend well.

Wow. Two years apart. That is a great photo. It is interesting what catches our eye again and again.
