you don't live near water then, yes it can be utter glass like a mirror with no movement/waves whatsoever - everything seems to stand still, especially early in the morning.

my guess is a photo with some photoshop.

Definitley a painting .. the seagulls are way too big at their distance and have
the stereotypical painting profile that's not accurate in real life
plus they are flying way too equidistant.


(I see hundreds of seagulls a day as I drive across 40 miles of water so I know)

There is quite a bit of "jaggies" in that picture. I assume you resized it fromt eh original file?

how can anyone even think this is a real pic ? this looks as 'real' as the average 3d shooter....or either MY monitor is going bad or yours is. This pic looks VERY rendered/fake.

This looks very much like a painting by a famous artist, but I can't remember his name. I'm almost positive I saw the lithograph at an art auction.

Sure it can, I've seen that in lakes several times.

Picture I took of a river. And the river is constantly flowing, unlike a lake.
