DocWayne, you are certainly right, when looking at a large body of water, all that is seen on the horizon is water and sky... no matter the viewing angle! But the viewing angle will determine where the expected horizon will be. From a low angle, the horizon would pretty low, like in your first photo - I like that one alot! But Barney Secord would be seeing the horizon "way over yonder". How high is your layout in that area and what is the normal view?
On the backdrop behind the layout, I am going to try the following:
I've mentioned it before, the layout is at 58 inches above the floor, which pretty much limits the viewing to a low angle. Here is a photo of the bayou on the other side of the bridge:
I did make the bayou curve just a little as it approaches the backdrop, so if I paint the following, it seems that it would be okay, again considering that the bridge will block some of the view. Anyone have any thoughts on that?
