Thanks for looking and commenting Frank and Wayne. Regarding the not level
issue, my first operation in PS was to straighten it on the vertical in the
castle. On noting the off kilter reflection after the correction I attributed
that in a 2 sec analysis time to the odd phenomenon of reflections on uneven
surfaces appear to skew towards the observer, like headlights reflecting on
wet pavement. An operator error in PS was deemed a second remote possibility.
I had mentally noted Marnie's long exposure time that would seemingly even out
the small ripples. Glass like water on that inlet is rare. The physics and
underlying math of that phenomenon is a bit complicated.

I am still at work and can't put a grid on it, but my revised opinion putting a
straight edge on it that despite my efforts, Frank is right and it is cockeyed.
Arghhh. Once in a while the simplest explanation is correct. I will recheck
in PS.
I also did take artistic license and added a layer with a 35 pixel Gaussian
blur with 20% opacity to enhance the glow a smidge. I think Frank may be
correct and I should trim the highlights just a tad on the castle after that
procedure as it led to some loss of detail due to the enhance "glow". For
images I rather like, I now save the PSD file so I can review after a few days
as problems may be missed the first go around. Thanks again.
Mike
