Thanks glad you like it. It does throw your mind, unfortunately it didn't do well competitively as the judges were purists! Sigh!

Great composition. When I first saw the thumbnail I thought that it was a normal sky

Do you have the original photo? I'd think showing that would be a better way of getting people to understand exactly what was done

Not really important in my opinion. The important piece is the finished work 
You can see another of the same place on my photography blog...
[link] - there's two up there one of a willow reflection (also on DA) and the other of my friends reflected - same pond.

Yes of course the finished work is the most important, but that doesn't mean that the process should be entirely thrown away as well. Also, that's the sort of thing which your scraps are for. You don't have to, but I'd be, and I'm sure others as well, would be interested to see

I might blog about it later - I usually put those sorts of thingsup in my blog.
The other problem is that I convert from raw, then save the finished product - so don't usually have anything in between unless I purposely save it - which I didn't in this case - if I get time I'll hunt it out and do some snapshots of the process!

That sounds like a photomanipulation to me. Well done!

I know - I like confusing people

okay -
It probably is a manip really - what I did I took the shot but I was standing at the top of the sky' which was on the other side of the pond.
The clouds were reflected in the pond.
I just flipped it vertically to make the reflecion look like sky, then just changed the position of the seagull by selecting and moving it.
