I only saw the picture when I first read the letter and I thought 'That'll
look good in 3D'. Then I realised it was. Durrrrr. <=3:-)
Very nice. The reflection effect on the water is especially clever. It's
also good because it looks pretty even when viewed normally.
Hope you don't mind, but I altered the clouds' shape and position slightly.
I also removed one of the W's and I moved your name below the picture, I
thought it spoiled the look of the reflection.
This is what I ended up with...

One other thing, it is rather a wide picture and I had a bit of trouble
unfocussing far enough to get the images to overlap. You might want to
consider narrowing the picture slightly, either by removing the smallest
mountain or drawing some of them like this...

...but that's your decision.
Hope this helps.

Agreed, it hurt my eyes to get this one to work, but the overall effect
is quite nice. Also, it seemed that in the original, the clouds were
offset as well, and in the altered version, they are flat. Keep working
on it...good job so far.
