This person has a history of submitting composited photos in challenges which forbid such things. I like well done composites. I don't like when the photographer tries to claim they are straight shots.

This one fooled me when voting (I vote mostly on impulse), but I have to agree now that it's fake. No lake effect on the trees, but too much on the balloons :(

That said, the rules did not exclude fake images. So, it's clearly up to the voters.

I also doubt whether those balloons are real, the shadows are just not right.

Next time, submit a photo, not artwork...clearly a composite with a fake lake effect in the lower portion of the frame.
